His great concern is his not knowing how to be an ideal gentleman.<br /><br />Also check out my posts on humility and gratitude, especially the lists of quotations. Humility will make you feel no indignation at other people&#39;s reaction to you and gratitude will let you see all the good things in yourself and in your life rather than the bad. Then other&#39;s reactions will not be so important to you.<br /><br />Lastly, if you adopt these attitudes, don&#39;t be surprised that other people&#39;s reactions to you will change.<br /><br /><br />Let me know how you do, friend.<br /><br />AlexAlexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08705188612008810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866069263500551544.post-83804231113818157342011-01-18T01:32:34.466-08:002011-01-18T01:32:34.466-08:00i too am dealing with my anger. And continue to due to my height and appearance. I get frustrated by peoples reactions. Each one seems not to bother me. But when life throws things at me and when it feels life is against me. I get angry. Slam doors, punch walls.<br />I cant change my appearance. So im thinking maybe philosophy, meditation? <br />To cut out my hooks that snag onto other peoples shit. So my shit doesnt become there assumptions/speculations.<br />Any suggestions.<br />Idont want anyone to have power over me. And i dont want to be a bully. But when i get angry. People see it as the most horrific ordeal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6866069263500551544.post-21710387708914060502008-08-18T20:47:00.000-07:002008-08-18T20:47:00.000-07:00I like these, especially Walton's and Buddha's. May I add this (one of my favorite quotes of all time): <BR/><BR/>"Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret." - Ambrose Bierce <BR/><BR/>Now I'll go and practice NOT slamming doors or arguing with some people in my life ;) <BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for stopping by!Juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05391861784591882395noreply@blogger.com
