Remember this when you are angry

I've been watching myself, my family and my colleagues recently and especially during their worse time. Each time the anger came out and after it subsided, regret always follows. But the damage has been done and sometimes it could not be recovered. There's always a price to be paid.

It came to my mind that each time we're angry, it is more like we are pressing the self destruct button. But more than that, it is like pressing destroy surrounding button. Not only us, but the people surrounding got hurt also. Our wife, husband, children, closest friends or mour aybe colleagues. Do we really want to hurt them? or do we really want to hurt ourselves?

If you really think that it's okay to hurt yourself, then at least consider this one fact. Your creator, the one who weaved you while you're still in your mother's womb, He loves you more than you do love yourself. And if I could say this, your creator doesn't deserve it. If you hurt his creation, it hurts the creator also.

Now, take some time. Be still, go to the place where you could at least sit down and close your eyes. There still so many ways to act besides being angry, so many kindness could be done, so many beautiful things you will see. If and only if, you'll surrender your anger and have mercy on the one who angers you.

Forgiveness and peace does go hand in hand, a beautiful fact that is often forgotten. How to forgive? Hmm... sometimes the eyes need to meet with the creator eyes to be able to see the beautiful things unseen yet and will be seen when forgiveness comes to action.
