LOST and Angry -- Sunday Night -- What ticks you off? What makes you frustrated? I remember back in the day when I was a kid and I learned very quickly how to tick my older brother off. All I would have to do is tease him about something or beat him at something and I could get him going. Of course he was still bigger than me and usually I paid for it :)
One time I COMPLETELY ticked him off. I'm not talking upset, angry, furious, I am talking about full out RAGE! He was going to kill me and I do mean kill. There are very few times that I thought I was going to die and that was one of them. He came at me with this huge, sharp, wooden rod. He chased me around with it and I dived into the bathroom and locked the door. Then of course I laughed at him through the door. He then spent the next 15 minutes beating the door. Fortunately for me it was SOLID wood, unfortunately the rod he was using was stronger than the door. When my parents came home and saved me, there were over 100 divots in the door from where he had hit it. The anger was gone but the evidence of the anger was still there and from my understanding is still there today.
That is kind of how anger can be -- we can lose it and we usually lose it on the people closest to us and in those moments of rage we can leave damage. Sometimes it is the damage we can see and other times it is the damage that we can's like those emotional grenades we yell at each other -- I hate you! I never loved you! You are worthless! Why can't you do anything right! The scars of anger unchecked can last a life time. I am learning to control my anger and realize that I can do some major damage if I let me anger rage.
Come Sunday night to hear what causes anger and to look at fear from the "dark side" for you Star Wars Fans
