I got that feelin'

This morning I was trying to have a conversation with someone and they just refused to listen to my point of view. Not because I was wrong or right but because they were just mad. I decided to look up the word mad and the definition that fits this person best is “extremely foolish or unwise; imprudent; irrational”.  They were so infuriated with events that have happened that they were no longer thinking rationally.  I too have been guilty of doing this, so I know exactly how they feel.  

 

Now by no means do I think I’m immune from ever getting mad again. In fact I’m sure I will because it’s an emotion, and we have emotions for all reasons. The key is what I do with the emotion at that time? Do I choose to feed it and do something that’s not in my best interest or do I step back, survey the situation, pray about it and make the an intelligent decision? How we react to emotions is so important.  Remember feelings aren’t facts!!!!! But how we act in the midst of an emotion is a fact in deed.
