We are in a world where every now and thenpeople are enraged. Sometimes the car next toyou might pull up un-expectedly or sometimes

it could be your work and so the list grows. The cost of these fights be it in time or

monetary bases goes really high, and then therisk of the temper turning into something isalways there.

Have we ever thought of FORGIVING?


5/23

News like players beating each other up, bitingeach other's ear off, home violence is verycommon. Have we ever thought about asloution to this? Have we wondered howthings would look like if this was not there

Why cant we just forget it and move on,move on to a better result?

Anger is a impulsive and sudden outburst ofrage usually in retaliation to some threat ofharm.

Anger may have physical correlates such asincreased heart rate, blood pressure, and levels

of adrenaline and noradrenaline. Some view anger as part of the fight or flight

brain response to the perceived threat of harm.

Three types of anger are recognized bypsychologists:

Hasty and Sudden Anger (Joseph Butler).

Is connected to the impulse for self-preservation.

It is shared between humans and non-humananimals and occurs when tormented or trapped.

Settled and deliberate anger is a reaction toperceived deliberate harm or unfair treatmentby others.

The above two forms of anger are episodic.


8/23

Dispositional and is related more to charactertraits than to instincts or cognitions. Irritability,sullenness and churlishness are examples of thelast form of anger.

Anger can potentially mobilize psychologicalresources and boost determination towardcorrection of wrong behaviors, promotion of socialjustice , communication of negative sentiment andredress of grievances. It can also facilitate patience.

It is common for angry people to think, "I want toforgive, and I know I should, but I don't knowhow." Here are some starting points:

Tip 1:Remember, forgiveness is a process that takes

time and patience to complete. You must beready. Realize that forgiveness is for you - not

for anyone else.


15/23

Tip 2:

Realize that forgiving does not mean you arecondoning the actions of the offender or whatthey did to you. It does mean that you will

blame less and find a way to think differentlyabout what happened to you.


16/23

Tip 3:

Refocus on the positives in your life. A life welllived is the best revenge. People who find away to see love, beauty and kindness around

them are better able to forgive and get pasttheir grievances.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free anddiscover

that the prisoner was you.

1. You do not have to forgive all at once, it can bean organic process that happens over time.

2. You dont have to condone what happened toyou, in fact, you can let the other person know

how wrong they where, but then let go of yourgrudge.


20/23

3. Forgiving and trusting are separatethings. Trusting too quickly may be more of an

indication of low self esteem. Forgiving can behappen quickly if you choose, but trustingtakes time.

4. You can forgive a person, but it doesnt meanyou need to maintain a relationship with them

5. Forgiving is always for yourself. The bi-product of forgiveness is that the other person

often feels better too knowing theyve beenforgiven.

6. Forgiving is always for yourself. The bi-

product of forgiveness is that the other personoften feels better too knowing theyve beenforgiven.

We use forgiveness as a skill in anger

control classes because by letting goof our pain and anger we no longer

carry the rage along with us

everywhere we go and everyrelationship we enter. Give it a try

and see if you can let go too!
