Recently in my life I have encountered several feelings. Feelings ranging from utter happiness to complete sadness and depression. One of those feelings, anger, is an emotion that everyone feels and also an emotion that is sometimes the hardest to control. When someone or something makes you angry or aggravated enough it will exceed your tolerated point of annoyance and that is when people start saying and doing things that they really do not mean to do.
Today in Sunday school, we watched a video on a man talking about anger and how to watch when you have exceeded the point where you can not control it. Afterwards, our teacher asked us what is one thing that just “ticks” you off or just makes you so angry or aggravated that you almost can not stand it. She also explained that instead of acting on our anger, we can think outside the box; to allow anger to help you decide your future. For example, one thing that angers my mother is when people are not treated right in hospitals or rest homes. Therefore, instead of acting on her anger, she became a nurse to make a difference.
My answer to our Sunday school teacher’s question was when unfair things happen to good people. For example, my best friend/ boyfriend is sixteen years old and has lung cancer and has never smoked a cigarette in his life, yet a seventy-five year old woman or man has been smoking since they were seventeen and they do not get lung cancer. Even though my friend’s cancer is not the same kind of cancer you get from smoking, it is still just not fair seeing that he is just sixteen years old. It is times like these where I question why God does certain things but He does them for a reason and I trust in Him for the best to come out of a terrible situation.
