Well, I know and some of you guys know I have been out lately.

Something happened this week. My brother was asking me to borrow the car since I am on the gym that time and he needed it to visit his friend in a wake. No more details in that one. So anyway, I drove as fast as I could only to end up in traffic. There I just hate people cutting on the line. From the innermost lane to the outermost just to turn right. With me, if I turn right in the next corner... I switch lane as early as possible. But to the extent that many were doing it I got angry that I just really want to crash the "stupid driver(s" [sorry for such a word] can't describe it in a much more angelic sort of way.

So after leaving traffic and about 40-1 minute had passed. I decided to drive on the more "less" driven road. I passed by at a village in which I was stuck again for about 5 minutes with the engine turned on because this another guy was waiting for someone in the middle of the road. The road can't be passed because it was being blocked by two parked cars.

So there my anger bursted out and I was like pressing my horn many times and still this guy was unable to respond. He wasn't having a breakdown since he wasn't using his hazard. After running out of my patience, I actually opened the door and yelled at the driver for about 5 times saying

"Hoy! Wag kang gago, di ito parking area! Wag mo iharang ang kotse mo sa gitna ng daan. Umalis ka na dyan"

English translation is "You fool, don't be stupid... this is not a parking area. Don't block your car in the middle of the road. Move your car now!"

I was so angry. To the extent that the neighbors living on this street went out to ask what was happening. So these people tried asking the driver to move the car since there is an available parking area if he just move his car a little bit. Surprisingly, he had his reasons despite many motorists about 5 are behind him.

I could feel my pulse that time and I couldn't act like a christian sort of way.

But despite of all this, I did feel bad after that incident. And I am really really serious to not act in that manner ever again.

Jeez, hehehe... So how do you control your anger?:)

Drey, dude, my outbursts are the stuff of legend. You need to pray a lot, and practice patience.

I know, that sounds really simple and all, but I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. You need to think about the situation and think. And pray. This is one of those really "easy" Christ-life situations: what would Jesus do if He were in your shoes?

Well, as a believer, you've invited Him in, so wouldn't it make sense to honor Him by working on the patience thing? Ask for His help- you'll get it!

Yeah... Thanks.

I've been through a lot that time. And can't help think about what just happened this morning most especially when someone almost did the same scenario on our street.

Gotta practice that patience...

Thanks again. Please do pray for me guys because I have so much to catch up on when I'm ready to come out.

I just gotta say TheMadClipper the worst sang ever made in history (not ever but you'll get my point in a sec) is "What would Jesus do" INSTEAD i think... i actually truely believe that Christians should like by this rule rather then say to themselves what would jesus do is "Do What Jesus Would" cus there are too many people sayin and not doin.

Actually, anger is an emotion. So, like love, it is a choice.

That's pretty worldly. What is a more biblical, Christian response to anger?
Really, I think (my opinion here) that guys are more prone to embarassing, flip the finger, moments of pure rage than chicks are. While we do this, it isn't right (and, yes, I DO do it). Any thoughts- this is a worthy topic.
