I kill all my enemies. You know that. ;))
If I am angry about a general situation I am in, I have a whole lot of punching bags :D Training is good for pent up long term anger. It channels the energy, turns it from chaotic to focused. I don't get this type of anger often though, maybe because of the training itself. I think this sort of anger is the most damaging for the mind and body, and one should try to get rid of it in any way it works. Some people are more prone to this, instead of the short term bouts of anger that go away as fast as they come. They should focus on learning how to deal with it.
If I get angry at a person, I'm not hiding it. My first impulse is to get physical somehow. I try to control that and either settle the matter verbally (if I feel I am not too pissed off) or leave right away to cool off for a while. Alcohol lowers my impulse control and I get violent more easily if there's enough in my blood, so what I've done that's helped me A LOT is avoid getting too hammered.
"person cuts me off? well... what kind of person cuts someone off? someone who makes bad decisions, that's who! someone driving a cheap little minivan!"
You think people who earn a lot more money than you do would never consider cutting you off? lol
"why get mad when you can feel superior?"
It could be that the person who cut you off feels superior to you. Either way, you won't know. Just like s/he won't know how you feel.
I doubt anyone who cuts you off is going to give a shit how superior you feel anyway, even if they did know. Your sense of superiority is only significant to you.
i think of ways i am better than the person i am mad at...
person cuts me off? well... what kind of person cuts someone off? someone who makes bad decisions, that's who! someone driving a cheap little minivan! i have no need to be upset with him, in fact i should pity him because he has to live such a rough life as a result of being stupid, something he has no control over. there go i but for the grace of god. plebs deserve to be pitted. they know not what they do
why get mad when you can feel superior?
