We live in volatile times. The political rhetoric is getting worse as we approach the election, many are worried about more potential violence at the outcome of the election and people are tense.
Add to that the normally stressful lives most of us live and we have a powder keg about to blow.
But you can do something about it. Anger is real and needs to be dealt with, especially anger with loved ones.
One saying “do not go to be angry” has been morphed into “let it go and live with it”, which is not a correct interpretation. Another ancient wisdom says “You have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not murder’; and ‘whoever murders shall be liable to judgment.’ But I say to you that if you are angry with a brother or sister, you will be liable to judgment”. Anger can cause us great distress and disruption to our relationships.
Anger can be a sign of issues, misunderstandings and even depression. Instead of giving in to the anger, consider its source. Did you misunderstand your spouse? Were you stressed when you responded shortly? Is it more? Coaching can help you discern, and if it is something further, coaches can refer you to a therapist. Either way, is it time to deal with anger issues?
