calm and rage

I am interested to know if there is anything that calms you.  is there something you touch, something you see, etc., that brings instant calm?...and..is there something that, in the same fashion, instantly enrages you..

calm and rage

For example, looking up to the sky calms me.  I might realize my insignificance to the world or maybe I just instantly understand how much is really out there.  I find things that instantly enrage me are mostly tangible, man-made things like heavy traffic and corporate logos.  

Anything natural out there that enrages anyone?

Meditating calms me. Cruelty enrages me.

calm and rage

I never need anything to calm me down. I can get angry and get over it as quick.

The one thing that really annoys me more than anything else is when my expectations aren't met. When I tell someone to do something, I always expect immediate action.

I have a strong desire for instant gratification and it frustrates me when I can't satisfy it immediately. I never go into rages though. I don't yell and scream and throw things. I do get angry, but it's really more a feeling of annoyance than anything else.

With shallow emotions

I could be calm with anything

Yeah I want instant gratification with some people and I will get aggressive if my wants aren't met at that exact time. I will usually hit once or twice and sometimes I do throw things and then I'm completely fine. like nothing ever happened. And then the person starts whining because I got aggressive and goes on and on when I was done right afterwards.

I don't see myself as an overly aggressive person but I'm sure some shrinks would laugh at that thought lol

Well, my rage is pretty much random, lol. Depends how much anxiety I have at the moment and the racing thoughts that impair clear thinking.

 Many things calm me. Thinking about the beauty of nature and the good things that there still are in the world. Music is a powerful inspirer. Even seeing a hearty smile is enough to switch back. Of course, a time out to cool down is the best course of action.
