Greetings!
One thing that I have always avoided in my life is being offended and this is because of the end result of me being offended by people or people stepping on my toe which is anger.
Although, I don't get angry easily until when pushed to the brick wall which would even take so much time for a person to push me to the brick wall.
But, once push to the brick wall, then I get offended and anger comes in. So, I can say that, I'm not the type that gets angry easily until when pushed.
Having said this, I would like to get down to the business of the day by answering the topic of the prompt which is all about, “Angry and Mad.”
Like I have said earlier, I'm not the type that get angry anyhow, but once I get a gry, it may be difficult for anyone to appease me on time to soften my mind as things would get worse when I remember the bad being done to me by the person who had stepped on my toe.
I could remember a cousin of mine doing anyhow to me even after he had betrayed my trust in him after he had taken over our partnership business.
It all happened that Ben, who I had so much trust in betrayed my trust and hijacked all my investments and the customers I have once worked hard for.
Although, I too was far from the business as I was still schooling when the idea to start a building material business came up, but being the brain behind the investment with huge capital being invested by me and a sharing formula in place, I didn't really believe Ben should have done to me what he did by hijacking the business from me, but that was the situation I found myself.
However, even at the face of provocation, I didn't utter a word of anger, neither did I report him to anyone, rather instead of that, I left him with his maker, God to judge both of us right.
One thing I realized with my continued silence was that, he was not comfortable with my style of response to what he had done to me which was my continued silence.
As a result, he started talking bad of me to people who were not of the opinion of what transpired between both of us and when some of the report began to fly around me, I got angry as he had pushed me to the brick wall. I flared up and could not be controlled by anyone as what he did pained me to my marrow.
Although, I shouldn't have allowed things to get to that extent, but there's nothing I could do to help the situation and what happened years back has not been resolved till now. Although, I'm beginning to forgive him after he had sent emissaries to me to beg me on his behalf which is a sign of him being remorseful.
In conclusion, it usually takes time for me to get angry and mad, but if I should get angry, it would take me time to get healed of it.
