Poll: Have you learned not to look back in anger?

Question

I guess we can never change what's come and passed,

I'm very grateful for your answers thank you very much :)

Answer 1

yes i have learned it but sometimes, i feel like when i look back in anger, anger often puts things right because so many times, i feel so angry that something wrong happens, and because i feel so angry, it makes me want to make things right. you know what i mean?
its like wheni was in school and would get picked on lots. it made me so very mad that someone would be so stupid to pick on me, then i got even madder that the teachers would never really do anything about it. so because of my anger and that i never really forgave those people and forgot that stuff,
i then decided to b emore usefull than those pople. i am a very nice person and when my younger cousins or something have trouble in school, i always call the teachers and talk to them and tell them there is a bully problem. i also call the kids parents and stuff liek that. so for that fact i am grateful that i stay angry and things. (sorry my typing is bad and i dont like to back space, but you can read it still eh?)

anyways, but, thats also why i use the motto, forgive but never forget. just because you forgive someone for their ill behaviors or sins, doesnt mean you should forget the bad things that happend or the sins that happened.
forgive but never forget.

but i have to honestly say, i have not really learned to not look back at that stuff in anger, because as a kid i had such a terrible time,few friends and afraid to go to school, and yet noone helped me, i would go to teachers and they didnt do anything, they just all ssat back and said, just ignor them. i am angry at that. that is very sad when you cant help out someone in need because you dont have the time and it doesnt suit you because its too much effort.

but many things i have learned not to look back in anger at, like how i never really had much as a kid because i came form a poor family. because noone can help that. my parents had a hard time.

Answer 2

Yes, I have. Nothing good can come of staying angry and bitter. It only hurts us physically and mentally. Harboring bad feelings ages us. I know I have not been through a lot of the things that others have, so I am not trying to be judgemental. But I think there is a lot of wisdom in letting go of the past. I try to learn from it and go on and help others with what I have learned.

Answer 3

Yes I have, and I am a much better person for it. My first husband was a very abusive man, I was beaten black and blue because he couldn't handle his drink. Then the last time he beat me, I retaliated and slapped his face, I knew instantly that was the end of the marriage for me I had hit someone in anger, and I didn't like the feeling. It didn't matter that this man had hit me with a piece of wood with a nail in it and scraped it down my arm, I didn't have the right to hit him.
It took me such a long time to forgive myself for slapping him, but eventually I moved on, I met and married husband number 2 a few years later, he is so lovely, he couldn't be more different to the first one. He is kind, loving,caring, a brilliant dad to our son and more than anything else, he makes me laugh everyday, he's amazing.

Answer 4

well bro, you can't change the past. Only lessons you can learn from the past to make better judgement calls in the future. What's done is done.. getting even with scores may eventually be self destructive. Break the anger cycle and you have freed yourself for better things in life... Anger, worry are 2 of the most energy sapping emotions.. choose to be happy instead..

Answer 5

It's a hard lesson to learn but it's the healthy option... Dwelling on thing and feeling anger or bitterness to what has been is not good for you... it slows down the healing process and stops you from moving on... the more you dwell on something you never really get that closure we so much need...

Answer 6

Like with any emotion thats negative it takes time to fade, eventually most of us can look back with indifference, even pity, but for myself, my anger gets spent and I am left with the satisfation of knowing that what I did was for the best even if noone else agrees, I am happy with my decision.

Answer 7

Yes. I have come to the conclusion that everyone is doing the best they can based on their level of awareness. With that understanding, I have a lot of patience with everyone, including people from my past. I also believe in karma.

Answer 8

Yes, but certain things, i dont feel we should ever lose anger about , child abuse etc etc, yes we can learn to deal , but never lose the anger

Answer 9
