Anger makes your mouth work faster than your mind ... NOT a good thing, for when you have spoken words in anger you cannot take them back. Better to stop, count to ten, take a deep breath and allow your mind to stop your mouth from saying things that you will have regretted saying.

Before you can change the reaction to anger ... it has something to teach us ... Puncture the balloon ... ... share your scream with your pillow If you struggle with anger ... the soul must be cleaned It smells so lovely ... seed of quiet harmony 22.10.2018 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Angry words are not to be spoken. Yet from our tongues they can be hurled at just about anyone. Amends are then forth coming. I always try to think before I speak to keep my inner peace.

A cute and valuable metaphor. It helps to express hurt honestly rather than holding it in and using it to inflate the balloon. That's not always easy to do.

People do things when they are angry and regret them.. I rarely get angry, normally just walk away... calm down... have to be careful about what leaves the tongue...

Lovely verse Sunshine, yes, we should always walk away and remain calm and not let things get to us. Sadly many have this ability to fire people up and leave you seething. Good luck. Tom.
