Life is not always happy, there are times where we get too angry because of certain situations and end up saying words that we might regret in the future. Being angry is normal and valid; however, the outcome will always be up to us.

We are like a can of soda that has been shaken by certain situations that can trigger anger and once we open our mouths all the emotions will burst and we might do or say harsh things that we cannot take back once it was said.

In order to prevent that, the best way that we can do is to count from one to ten and do our best to calm down. Releasing all the anger right in that moment is not a smart choice. Just close your eyes and breathe slowly as you think of happy situations, in that way you can prevent the damages that you might cause.

A lot of people only think about their own perspective in moments like that and both of them not knowing the reasons behind it or when they don't look on other possible perspectives there is a big possibility that they will not understand each other. Try to put yourself in the shoes of others first or the best thing that both of you can do is to talk peacefully. By hearing both sides of the story, the misunderstandings can be removed and the problem can be solved easily.

Anger is just temporary, do not let your life be damaged by the consequences that you will face if you will not be able to control yourself. I have read a quote from Ernest Agyemang Yeboah and it is indeed true. He said that “The boiling water that does not cool down only dries out!”. It perfectly describes the situation you are in when you are angry. Thus, we should never let our emotions damage or worse destroy ourselves.
