No doubt all of us got out of beds wishing for a fine day. It is indeed too. We have all rushed to do what we do likely the other day and yet have other chores charted out or ticked in the diary or whatever note form we used. Yet I cannot just skit off without feeling bad over things that continue to happen. You are peeved over the continuing road- accidents during festive seasons, senseless killing, robbery and drugs abuse etc.
Angry, furious, mad, hateful, ticked off, peeved, bad and call it whatever you want, it is ONE common basic emotions we have come to grasp. Go through a day without getting angry at someone or something? Probably not. Thankfully there are many levels of anger. " I am angry to have missed that visitation" rather than " I am angry that he has accosted off with my RM1000.00" are two levels of anger. Thankfully many of us have learn to depress our anger in many ways than one. Come to think of it "How do we effect it?"
It brings me to what I intended to say about in the first place; i.e to quote a few snippets for this fine day before it gets 'hot' if ever.
" Whenever books are burned, sooner or later men also are burned" Heinrich Heine
" A thought often makes us hotter than a fire" Henry Wordsworth Longfellow.
"I am glad I don't have to explain to a man from Mars why each day I set fire to dozens of little pieces and then put them in my mouth" Mignon Mclaughlin
" The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer" Victor Borge
" There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them" Ray Bradbury.

People say, sleep on it, to indicate a period of patience and contemplation so that we can think things through. There is some truth in it but I also think if we sleep in anger, we could not sleep well and chances are, we will wake up in anger.
I pray for God to make me a person with patience daily.
Sdri,
Thanks for yr thoughtful comment. Actually that is one good approach to cool the temper or anger.Then of course the next recourse is to be on the prayer mat and cry your hearts out for patience and guidance. Salam
