Angry Anyone?

Hands down, Angry Birds is the game of the first quarter of this century.  It is yet another pivotal innovation first released on the operating system of the fruit company that does not sell a single piece of fruit.  If ever there was something that could unite nations, generations or people of various ages and backgrounds it has to be this computer game.  The game was born with a variety of wingless birds being angry at something...no one knew what at the time.  But since swine flu was an epidemic during the creation of this application, pigs became the first (and obvious) chosen enemies (now there are other variations ofcourse). It sure is amazing how addictive it can be to propel wingless birds as projectiles to kill some bodyless pigs with all kinds of attitude.  What a remarkable creation by Rovio...

Anger can be a deadly emotion.  It not only kills your inner self but also those around you, silently.  It's okay to be mad and angry at times about things not going your way-- that is normal human psychology.  But if this emotion starts to consume your very existence then there's a problem. It would be great if there were no laws against throwing projectiles at our enemies- we too, like the birds could score big and be happy at the end of a win.  But since society prevents us from tossing bricks at each other we are forced to manage anger in other ways.  Some cry, some withdraw, some vent their feelings while some end up with worse predicaments.  I believe the worst style of anger management is when you silently burn a hole in your soul by bottling it all up.  Anger eats into you little by little and you lose yourself without even realizing the damage.   That doesn't mean that you should cry and vent every time you are angry; it means you have to use that anger to fuel your inner drive instead and aim for inner peace instead.  It takes a day, a month and sometimes a lifetime for  to learn to forgive, forget and convert anger into strength.  Mastering anger is one of the keys to achieving inner peace and we all know that peace is infinitely more glorious than war, any day.
