Writing things
Often, people do all sorts of things to express their feelings. One uncommon tactic used by a number of people is to write a hand written letter, place the letter in the envelope, write the address of whom you were addressing your thoughts to and wait several days before sending the letter.
When it comes to some sort of organization that I am displeased with, I generally apply this tactic. I make a draft, thinking on what I should write to express my anger, or my opinion with a negative vibe to it, then actually hand write it out on an actual piece of paper before placing it in an envelope and wait before I send it off.
During the drafting and writing period, I would have to read my own displeasure several times. This allows me to proof read my work, add or remove some ideas to avoid repeating myself and actually understand what I wrote.
On the day that you write the letter, you generally agree in total of what you wait. So you put it in the envelope, seal it up, write the address but don't send it. The old saying revenge is best served frozen, way past the expiry date. There is a very good explanation for this.
The reason why I wouldn't just place the letter in the mail box with a stamp is due to the fact that during the time that you are angry, you have the tendency of not thinking with a clear head. The other saying is that a thought of anger played out will give you a hundred sorrows. by allowing one time to think on what they wrote, in my case would be several days, one can understand or attempt to understand two sides of one story, or simply look at the fact that is this letter and it's potential consequences worth all the effort?
At the end of the day, what is written on the letter is your anger out on paper. At the end of the day, only you know it's contents. At the end of the day, if the letter is not sent, that generally means that either you have realized the potential consequences of sending the letter or you'll simple wait it out to see if the letter is worth your effort in sending.
One of the most basic skills in a westernized life is to actually doing this method to release anger and stress or thoughts. One written on paper, re-read and sealed up is one the best tactics in looking at any situation without repercussions, or fear that someone else will get hurt in the end.
