Hey!
As the topic implies, how angry have you ever been or are capable of becoming? All my life, I've never raised my fist to anyone out of angry or malice. The most I can become is maby at most annoyed with someone, but never to the point of losing my control and going out like a lunatic. I have been physically slapped in the face in the face for defending a gay guy...oh, true story time!
One time when I was under a gazebo(sp?) and this guy saw one of my friends, who was gay or whatever. He started calling him all types of names, and then began to get in his face as if he was going to attack him. I stood up and got in between both of them, and the guy looked at me like I was out of place or something, I told him he had no right to say such things to someone for who they where and he stood there for a minute as if he couldn't process the thought. A second or so later he raised his hand and slapped me across the face, I just looked back at him with a serious look (if there is such a thing) and stood there saying nothing (although I could feel I was crying). Anyways, some friends told my little brother (who is about 6,1 and heavy set) and he went berserk. He came towards me screaming "WHO WAS IT, TELL ME WHO THE FUCKER WAS" and I just kinda told him to calm down and that everything was ok.
At this point the guy had walked back a few feet looking a bit worried but still smirking from what he did, and thats when my little brother yelled "I'LL KILL YOU" and began rampaging towards the guy, all my friends and others had to hold him back...
That being said, I know my brother well, and know he isnt the one to do that type of drama. When it was all over and the parties had left the scene, we both laughed and I said "I'll kill you? C'mon!".
I have many stories of how I have never ever had to be angry or lash out... I figure life is already messy so why add to it by being angry? I paid for some friends food not too long ago and one of them completely disrespected me by swearing loudly in a restaurant with kids. I told them to be quiet but they just got louder...didn't get angry, jut thought im never going to pay for food ever again for rude people. Tell me, how often do you get mad, and are you a cool cucumber like me? Is it even needed that we have anger?
