Over time, I have seen people do certain crazy things: causing serious havoc and then channeling the blame on their temper weakness.
The first question that always pops up in my head in such situations is, are they the only ones with temper issues?
Let's tell ourselves the truth: there are times when we all get to a point where we are so vexed that we feel like bursting open like a volcano that has matured and is ready to erupt, but somehow, we manage to keep it cool.
In truth, people can be very annoying at times. People can offend you to the point where you would wish you could do something terrible to them just to ease your hurt, but then, give it a moment, and it will dissipate.
I have acted based on anger before, and I regretted my actions. Some of them I still regret to date. Sometimes, you may even be right, and your decision would have probably been right, but because it was made in anger, you ruined it.
Maybe instead of simply walking away, you ended up landing a hot slap on someone, and because of that very action, you lost your respect or a relationship.
Temper is something we can manage just like every other emotion. I know it is difficult, but it is worth the effort.
It amazes me whenever I hear some people bragging about how hot tampered they are. Is that something to be proud of at all?
Something that puts you in a situation where you are not able to think straight and act based on a temporary feeling. Is that a feeling anyone should allow themselves to walk with?
All my life, I have never seen anybody who has never felt terrible after reacting based on temper.
The majority of the time, after doing all that their energy carried them to do, quietly, they begin to feel bad.
Those who are humble enough immediately look for means to apologize and to make things right, while the proud stay unremorseful, yet deep inside, something will register to them that they have done wrong.
Left to me, I don't see any reason why anyone would do something, then say it was because of their hot-tempered nature.
We are all given the ability to correct any wrong trait we find in ourselves. The fact that we are aware that our temper is causing havoc to people, and we refuse to work on it, is a sign that we know what we are doing.
Putting the blame on temper for doing wrong is a sign of irresponsibility. Anyone who possesses such character is a big threat to society because one day, the same person would do something dangerous and still use temper as an excuse.
The best way to handle this issue of temper is for individuals to take responsibility for controlling their temper.
It's not easy, but with consistent practice, control would surely be established.
