anger management

[liza123]

Confuscious :"in the midst of great anger, do not answer a man 's letter, in the midst of great joy, do not promise a man anything"...

Some people who are rational and normal end up in prison due to minutes of losing control...they lose their temper.  In our daily lives, there are many things that could cause us anger. How do you control your anger?

[seekinghga]

Laughter is an excellent way of controlling anger.  The Buddha was always laughing.

"secitone, dolis, scelere atque libidine et ira Iliacos intra muros peccatur et extra."
- Quintus Flaccus

For those who are lacking in knowledge of Latin:
"Faction, craft, wickedness, and the lust and anger from which it springs -- these are the sources of wrong-doing within the walls of Troy and without them."

OK. I checked your thread, http://psychologyforum.us/personality-theories/the-invocation-of-mars. You are right. It is the same topic : anger issues and how you control it. I will continue my posting over there. Thanks.

PS- I saw the title "The Invocation of Mars" but, I never checked the thread. Now, I know why it is called so!

I developed the concept of space. If I feel like I'm going to say or do things I'd later regret, I politely remove myself from the situation. Then pick I up latter.

We  use this technique in our meetings as well. It's called "tabling". If we're getting angry, we table it and pick it up at the next meeting. It's rare that situations have to be resolved immediately but people tend to be impatient.

My aunty used this method with her hubby during their initial stage of marriage. He is a hot tempered person. So, she said that she will put on a pathetic sort of face while he is 'screaming' or 'scolding'. Later, when he has cooled down, she tells him what she thinks...
