When “That’s Just How I Am” Becomes Dangerous

I had a very close experience with someone who is hot tempered and believe me, it's not a sign of a good person at all. Maybe they were good before you get them angry but just when the temper sets in, they are like these evil people who are bent on destroying before they can get a calm, I'll say it's both a sad and terrifying sight.

I remember a guy who would go haywire on anyone who talks even a little wrong about him, no matter who that person was and yes, including his elderly ones. He didn't care and he would always use the excuse of, that's how he is. He thinks it's better for people to not get him angry than for him to take of control of his anger.

I've also witnessed a mother who out of anger sent her son to the gates of death because I'm very sure God just didn't want that boy to die that day, he only had the flashbacks of death and came back to life. On a more serious note, that woman's anger gave nothing good to write about.

And that's just a few of the many others who have realized and accepted that they are hot tempered with no plans to control it or get help at least. From the Bible perspective and I believe a lot of people believe this also, it's okay to be angry because it's one of the things that comes from loving or expecting, it's totally okay to be.

What is not okay is, taking actions in the anger or letting the sun go down on your anger which may result to bitterness or hatred towards the offender. Anger is a very dangerous thing to experience really, because of what follows it and one of them is bitterness, nothing good about it.

I've not seen a hot tempered person who is genuinely happy, I know I can't generalize it by the number of people I've seen but it does says a lot about the spirit of anger. I can safely say, people who act with anger to destroy things or hurt someone whether by words or by acts, are like criminals too and all crimes should be judged.

I know most anger came from hurt from someone close or a stranger, there could always be a reason for the anger but when the act from the anger goes beyond what the reason for anger was, it's a crime that I think the society should address. Sadly, there are people keeping these hot tempered people as their favourite person lol.

I know it's not easy to control oneself when he or she is angry, but it's same as someone for everybody in one vice or the other. It takes a lot of process, they should be made to learn how to control their anger even if it has to be by law. Aggressive people are way too much in our society, all those are also from a place of anger.
