Anger Management

October 11th, 2007

I’ve been aware for many years that I have anger issues, but I’ve only recently decided that I need to work on them. Anger is, of course, driven by fear but often at a very subtle level. Whatever the reasons, anger is not befitting of a real man and therefore I need to address my anger issues.

The method is simple in theory if not in practice. The way to conquer anger is simply to not give in to it. Giving in to anger is a form of weakness and self indulgence.

Whenever I feel myself becoming angry, I will shut my eyes and take a breath and let it go instead of feeding it and letting it grow. It isn’t easy and I will fail many times, but it is a worthy struggle.
