It’s nothing but a matter of time and anger can bring out the worst in you at times. How many times do you think you have experienced anger – how many times your own and how many times someone else’s? It’s all a state of mind that comes like a storm and leaves you or someone else with bruises, just as the real storm at times leaves damaging trees and their branches around us.

It comes and knocks your door and after it has left the damage has already been done. Today, The Sunday Sip tries to make an effort to let you have a think hard and remember if your anger hurt someone. It might have been a routine for you but not for the other person who was left battered just because of some unkind words you said to him or her not realising, a heart is just like a glass, once broken it’s hard to be mended and I have found it so true.

Though I am no authority to write something on this outbreak of emotional turmoil, but have got the privilege of having felt it myself not once but many a time. I have seen it coming like waves hitting my mind and then leaving me, but by that time someone has been a victim to it or even me at times.

Anger at times means nothing for you because it’s just like tears once shed they ease your pain, but leaves an imprint in the heart of someone you so fondly love but hit hard with your angry words. Situations do keep coming in our lives to trouble us, but that’s when God tests us and wants to see how we react – whether we get angry cursing everyone around or pass it on with a smile, holding the hand of someone who was the reason behind.

Not very often you will find yourself going for second option, but would go for the first one, blaming your fate or blaming someone who has always been your support after having shared so much closeness. Strangely, you keep your anger first and someone dearest second!

I am not suggesting that we should not to get angry, as we all have to and we must too, but not at the cost of harming someone, who just wanted to be forgiven without asking for it. Be patient when things irk you, bury your anger and deal with God’s trials to turn them into triumphs. By shouting at the top of your voice or saying ill words you will only end up succumbing to anger and that too when someone close was not asking for much – just two kind words of love, forgiveness and a tight hug to say, you care for him or her more than your anger!
