Sometimes I get angry. Like there are little things that bug me. Like someone using the sharp edge of a serrated knife to scrape the chopping board. Little things that are probably so inconsequential that if I had to explain it, I would cringe at how silly it actually is (It did make sense in my head previously).
Then there are big things that get me mad. I rant and rave and I'm sure I go on about it for a while. There are probably some of you who are vigorously nodding you head at this point.
No matter how big or small, I find that the depth of the reaction it triggers in me can be quite staggering.
I could be having a really good day, lots of fun times with people I love and then something little doesn't go according to plan. Well, that's it really.
It can totally change the way I'm feeling and I'm pretty sure I become irrational.
Listening to Rory's talk on Jonah 4 last night made me think more about my anger. Is it often justified? I am sure if I chose to think about the last 5 times I got angry there would be layers of irrational thinking through each situation.
Why do I get so emotionally attached that I feel like it's a life or death matter? Why do I allow it to control me so?
I'm still pondering that.
