There once was a little boy who had a bad temper.
His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he
lost his temper, he must hammer a nail to the back of the fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number
of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.
He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper.
The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He
said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same.
"WHEN YOU SAY THINGS IN ANGER, THEY LEAVE A SCAR JUST LIKE THIS ONE."
You can put a knife in a man and draw it out.
It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry,
"THE WOUND IS STILL THERE."
A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. www.lyzrdstomp.com/

Nothing hurts more than a harsh word. It cuts deep into the recesses of your heart and leaves a permanent scar. Unfortunately, it is easy for us humans to be harsh and not thinking if we are hurting someone in the outburst of our angers.
true more hurting ang words kaysa sa nasaktan mo sya physically..sakin ganoon e c: hey namiss na kita hinintay ko yung siesta saturdays natin :c
I think that a lot of anger comes from miscommunication. Usually, given a chance to talk things over, people realise how pointless and fruitless their anger is and revert to more amicable communication. So to answer your question: I don't intend to start shunning people because of mere misunderstandings… I wouldn't make too many friends if I did, would I?
The important thing is not to let your anger fester, building up into an inexplicable, constant ache which can only be cured with great difficulty.
it's okey to be angry as long as you would refrain from talking bad to hurt someone...sometimes i really keep quiet and talk later because my tongue is really sharp when angry...specially when hurt i would use it to hurt back...so i'd rather be quiet and explain later.also it helps so i could rationalize things c:
