Something More Than Anger.

If all that any of us can be is mad then we have a really big problem. Understandly there are events that transpire in our lives that upset us and rightfully so however, even when these events are so shocking and heart breaking It does not give us the right to act out in violence or ignorance; peaceful demonstrations move the world more the violence.

So often it is easier to act out based on our principles then it is to live up to them, that is because we allow our pride to stand in our way which eventually  leads to serious consequences and disgrace; never the less if we chose to be humble, wisdom will follow.

Wise men and women act with restraint and are considered discerning when they control their tongues and actions, this translates into things getting accomplished. In the event that we allow peaceful demonstrations to be replaced by looting and self interest it removes the spotlight from the true issue. It also gives creditability to the allegations that caused all the madness to begin with.

We may have been and even feel oppressed; nevertheless we have not been defeated. The explosive anger that some people have when wrongfully expressed may feel like the right thing to do, but it is without a doubt ineffective. No matter the cause that we are dealing with to prevail calls for positive people with proactive anger.

The cause needs people whose anger motivates them to seek knowledge wisdom and understanding which will give them the right balance of faith to find peaceful solution to the problem. No matter your opponent it’s hard for them to refuse to give in to wisdom.

Despite the fact that some people mistakenly believe that to control yourself is an act of cowardness, real strength is shown by those who demonstrate discipline while seeking a positive resolution; to do otherwise we risk our grievances falling on deaf ears. Always remember man/woman would not be measured by how much he/she destroys: we will all be measured by what we finally succeed in accomplishing.
