Angry Talk...

It always amazes me how we can be so mean and hateful to those we love the most. Its like we say things when we are angry to purposefully upset them and hurt them. To purposefully cause them pain, because we ourselves are in pain. A wise person once told me that "hurting people, hurt people." And I feel that statement is true to the very core of human nature. What is the first thing we do when we are angry or upset or mad? We lash out, typically at those who are closest to us. But we only lash out at them because we know that we can not lose them and that they will be there no matter what. Typically this occurs with family members and occasionally friends whom we consider to be the closest to us. But what we don't consider at those times is how much what we say affects those who we attack. When we are angry the things we say, while we don't mean them, always cut the deepest. Because they are things we have actually thought and have actually wanted to say but never have. The truth is, we do mean them. We do mean the things we say when we are angry, they are our most base thoughts and attitudes. While yes you may love and care for the person, the things you say when you are angry are also things you feel and mean about the person. So a bit of advice, gaurd your tounges when you are angry, because anger causes us to say the horrible, hurtful things that we do mean, but would never actually say otherwise.
