Square Wheels Posted June 17, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 17, 2014 that I don't want to be angry any longer. For most of my life I've been mad at the world about almost everything. I hate politicians, I hate people who refuse to work and sponge off the system, I hate the guy who cut me off, I hate having to rake leaves... All it got my was unhappy. For the past few years I have been working really hard at trying to be happier. Will bad things still happen? Of course, but being happy during a bad situation certainly makes me feel better. I had a lot of people at my house on Sunday. The old me might have complained about a thing or two, and the very old me may have tried to have a bad time. I tried really hard to have a good time and ended up having one of the best days of my life. There is a lot to be said for being happy. It's at least as contagious as being angry. I'm going to try this for a few years. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted June 17, 2014 Share #4 Posted June 17, 2014 I wish you well in your journey to happiness, amigo. I personally like hating people. I am comfortable hating all identifiable groups of people, especially eskimos and architects. And Newfies (not really, I like the only one I know).

jsharr ★ Posted June 17, 2014 Share #5 Posted June 17, 2014 Life is too short to go throught it angry. I used to be very angry and it almost cost me my marriage and my kids. For me, that meant learning to forgive myself and letting go of guilt and shame and self judgement for past mistakes. I try now to put my self in that other persons shoes. I wonder what may be going on in their life that makes them angry or rude or whatever and then I pray about that. It helps me to stay less angry. Life is too short to go through it angry and upset and isolated. You gotta learn to love yourself first. You cannot give away something you do not have. So if you do not love yourself, how can you love your neighbor? I still get angry at times, but not as often and when I do I try to go back and seek forgiveness. Glad you are giving up angry. Also, I try not to use the word hate. Hate is a strong word. I tell my kids that all the time. We really have to watch the words that we let come out of our mouths. As INXS said, Words are weapons sharper than knifes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned that when joking with people about religions, that if they can't take a joke without flipping out, then they aren't people I care to associate with.

Square Wheels Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share #23 Posted June 17, 2014 I'm not a religious person, but I know it's always a heated topic and it makes me uncomfortable when people argue about it. It could go from what appears to be a simple debate to someone ending up dead in a matter of minutes. Life is too short for me to get that angry. I already wasted enough. I have a lot of happy to be getting to so I can make up for lost time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, Why do you feel the need to attack a minimum wage worker on your Seattle visit? That doesn't sound like the Christian way of treating the poor to me.
