Anger Reflection

In When We Fight, We Win by Greg Jobin-Leeds it says that “comparison can block compassion both for others and for ourselves.” I agree with such statement; I think that listening is a skill you learn throughout time. One can pretend to listen without really getting anything out of the conversation that one is having with that other person. In the Compassionate Listening workshop, I got to do it with Rachel Kurland and I sit and listened to her talking about the moment her friend treason her. I tried to understand her plight, why would she not cut that friendship off, I understood she loved her friend, however, I could not resist bringing my biases to our conversation. I asked myself, why is Rachel, such a good, loving, and smart person,

I chose to do this project on anger because for me, it is the most frequent fault I commit. In addition, it is the hardest one for me to avoid, which makes it one of the most distinctive sins to me. Moreover, writing about it gives me a better understanding of what it is. To me, anger is like a test. Imagine that your life and your decisions are like a path that has many other paths leading off of it, and the goal is to stay on the main path. Anger is like a rock or boulder that blocks the path of travel. As a test, will you keep calm and find a way around it and make

Wrath, oh the feeling……”I HATE YOU!” You make me so mad I could just, I could JUST…...Those are examples of wrath, or pure hatred inside a human-being. Wrath can be caused by an assortment of things, mental issues, grief, misunderstandings, and relationship failures, just to name a few. These feelings are a deadly sin mentioned in the Bible, for it says love is the answer to overcoming wrath. During my personal experiences, I too must sadly admit to being caught in the beginning stages of this sin. In modern society today, anger is the first and “easiest” emotion to go to and it always ends up backstabbing you. The pathetic thing is that a majority of this generation doesn’t even consider God in their minds…..especially when the Bible speaks of forgiveness. Wrath can also be directed from parents towards their own children. What has a child

In our life, we meet many people that have anger issues. People have anger issues because they could have been abused by the people they love or they had a terrible experience from childhood. I read two books that had a similarity which, Ruthless from the book called Ruthless by Carolyn Lee Adams and Cole from the book called Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelsen. Cole and Ruthless have similarity in life, Cole was abused by his father, Ruthless experience during her childhood, and Cole and Ruthless have a difference in life. People could manage to control their anger issues by facing their problems.

From then on, my changed life continues, and it constantly grows in difficulty. Temptations lurk around every corner, and evil becomes more evident with each passing day. This effects everyone, even Christians. It makes it harder for people to believe that a God so powerful and so loving could let hatred spread to all corners of the globe with such relentlessness. But, God has the whole world in his hands. When in doubt, he constantly reminds me that while life may not always feel the best, it is definitely for the

Something in my life that my anger was affected by was being blamed for something that I did not do. I was blamed for saying curse words that I did not say. However, because I have been in trouble before for cursing, which I did do, they did not believe me this time. This caused me to become very angry, which in turn made me lash out at the person who blamed me. By not having self-control over my anger I had to sit in In School Suspension for a whole

Has someone ever done something to you that angered you? Louis L'Armour states “Anger is a killing thing. It kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had before-it takes something from him”. In the story Cask of Amontillado by Edgar Allen Poe, the main character, Montresor, kills his friend because fortunato did him wrong. “Nemo me impune lacessit” (Poe 289), says “No one attacks me with impunity”.

many of those days I kept questioning God why me? I was filled with anger and bitterness.

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

One time when me and my cousin got into a fight over something stupid. I was really mad at him and he was mad at me. I remember at one point in the fight he said he wished I moved to Texas and was never their. The reason he said that was because I was supposed to move to Texas but I didn't. Anyway I took that to heart and I was quiet and I felt very guilty. After that for the next

Not only do the positive or neutral experiences in our lives build our character, but the forces in this world that stand to demoralize or threaten us also hold a place in our hearts. These negative forces can bring about shame, depression, anxiety, and other mental burdens that are normally avoided at all costs. I grew up a Christian but truly found God in the seventh grade. This marked a monumental swing in how I viewed myself, the world and those around me. My choice to follow Christ brought persecution into my life, but that opposition was met with strength and perseverance from my faith. I had to leave behind some of my friends that I no longer felt comfortable spending time with, but those friends were replaced by incredible people who wanted nothing more than to see me prosper. Whenever I was met with opposition from those who would try to bring me down, I had reassurance that those who struggle are also those who are blessed. Middle school was a difficult season in my life, but I have no regrets because it built into who I am four years later.

As soon I began my first year of college, I put that anger aside and started telling myself that I am smart enough. Soon after, I saw a drastic change in my academic performance. This has been a positive experience, because I learned to control my anger and frustration. A circumstance when I dealt with my anger in a negative way was the week of finals last year. That week I was running on almost no sleep and was required to work both my jobs that same weekend.

When something bad happens to me, I always try to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. If someone does something to hurt me, I will always try to give them the benefit of the doubt. I try to base my reactions and action of the Bible so I can be the best version possible of myself. Although it may be tough at times I believe it is always good at least try to be kind and give people a second chance even if they don’t deserve it. Everyone has some good in them; it takes a true friend to help them find it.

These experiences had taught me a lot of things. For one, i learned that a small mistake in our path could lead to a huge catastrophe at the end. And remorse or guilt alone is not going to change anything. We have to stand up, face the truth, and stay strong. Be a man made of steel. Have a will stronger than iron. Do not let anyone get you down, because they don't control your life. You do. And I learned that making fun of others' appearances is not funny. It is mean, intolerant and cruel. For we never know what kind of things they are going through and the last thing they need is to receive another cynical stare filled with one-sided judgment. And to be honest, I'm glad that God struck me with this obstacle. Without it, i would never learn to appreciate myself and the others. For i believe that failing once does not mean I’m going to fail

A few months later she finally apologized for her part. As soon as I forgave I was released of feeling any sense of anger and
