Things to keep in mind

Mar 05, 2014 12:48

A few things that I think would be good for me, and others, to remember more often:

Someone who isn't willing to lose anything can change nothing.
-Armin Arlert, Attack on Titan

Anger is never the first emotion.
-Dr. Arne Liss

acoustic philosophy, tv, mental health, emotional hoo-hah

1. Do not start fights. But always finish them.

2. Do not get mad. Do get even.

3. Kill them all, God will know his own.

No, no, no! I'm trying NOT to kill people, Niall! Geesh! ;-)

Sometimes I go off the deep end, Eben. Mea culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa!

Eh, it's okay. We all go there sometimes. :)

Arne is right--the emotion behind anger is fear. Or so it is in my experience. Thanks for these thoughts.

Hugs!

Arne also includes pain and shock as precursors to anger, but fear is the big one.

R-i-g-h-t. Pain and shock are there, too. I can see that.

Have a good morning, E. Don't let the mind bugs bite.
