Who here has let go of Anger?

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I find as I get older......I get less angry, and recognize anger before it becomes a problem, then throw it away from my mind since it clouds your reason and can lead to a person doing something they may regret.....

I have acted in a few films before where it was required to show anger/aggression......and if you can act out anger it helps to realize what a monster it can be......

Lettig go of anger was easy for me once I realized I didn't have to sink to someone elses immaturity level.

althou chopping as beneficial as it is is always somewhat depressing cus its such a butiful plant to watch grow i dunno me bein weird lol

I used to feel this way too. But, then I realized. Cannabis is an annual plant. It's designed to live, produce seeds and die. We just skip the seed part

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I reckon that alot of anger is directly related to your hormonal levels......and as we mature and get older as males, we don't produce as much testosterone as we did in our earlier adult lives.....plus we do get wiser (or should do) so being more in touch with our emotional responses and can tell when we are reaching critical mass....lol

....and I don't think that most humans 'skip the seed part'.....since many of us procreate and have children...

I struggle with anger issues, always have. Am also really bad about carrying a grudge. As I get older I can feel how toxic this is for me and am trying to let it go. It's hard, but I'm getting better at it.

I was angry at my mother for years and was finally able to forgive her toward the end of her life. What a relief to put that burden down. At the moment, however, I'm furious at my former best friend, who broadcast my personal business far and wide and also hard-core snooped in my home while housesitting. I don't see forgiveness on the horizon--but also hate the way my rage feels.

Hate is a poison......that slowly kills you like a bad drug....

 

[SecretGardener]

Hate kills

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

hehe true but I was referring to when we grow herb we skip the producing of seeds.

Hmmm....well not all of us do, there are plenty of breeders/seedmakers out there who do make seed crops and many are thankful of that....

the thing with anger (and other emotions) is its like a virus in that if u are around people that are angry it is very likely to pick up on that persons frequency and make yourselfe a bit angry - normally towards the angry person themselves - also its the same when ur happy and in a good mood, people smile at u and are more than happy to speak to you

if you are really depressed, and angry in ur life it will seem like it is justified at the time but in reality you just destroy yourselfe continuing to keep it within u - cannabis for me is a very useful tool in letting go of anger, and seeing the sprouts of anger come up i pull them like weeds before it turns into me seeing red and red only.

lets all let go of anger forever

Im very toxic to my own health and have a lot of viruses. I would really love to change this, i hate it.

It's like this with any emotion. Humanity is strange because we are all one and yet all different. I see it like water. Each molecule bound to those closest around it and they move together. If you're married you'll see that your wife and you will become more like each other until you're just 1 person (if you have a healthy marriage - so all you Americans have no idea what I'm talking about ).

I see alot of anger on ICM from time to time and it is my job to try and at least curtail it.......

....finding it best to do it in a non-confrontational way, because this usually just exacerbates the angry one, .....if you wave a red flag at a bull it will charge you...

....so I turn to other means such as putting that member in 'Coventry' for a while so effectively silencing them from being seen by the other members and any of their posts.....Or trying to be the 'voice of reason' and diplomatically trying to resolve the situation....If all else fails the mods/admins will have to ban the member....

As has been stated in the previous posts anger can easily be contagious and if we let it run rife on these boards it will destroy the harmony.....

letting go of anger as we age is also a "side effect" of lower testosterone levels in the body... we feel less of that rage we felt in our teens and 20's.

I used to be out of control. I still have a temper, but I've learned to let things go when they arise. It just came down to realizing that it didn't just affect other people. I had to cultivate that feeling inside myself, before it was directed at others. Which meant that I was doing it to myself.

Now if I have an issue. I try to be calm and methodical about it. No need to get upset. It really does just cloud your perspective. It really started with understanding why I was so close to boiling over all the time in the first place. Once I dealt with that. Everything has been much better.

So yes I've let go of the anger for the most part. I had a "friend" almost shoot me about a year ago(he put a bullet past my head like 4-5 inches). It really threw me off of my peaceful progression. I am trying to get back to finding my way and emanating happiness once again. I will get there again, but if you've ever had anyone almost take your life. It tends to elicit a certain amount of anger and rage in most people.

 

[Gypsy Nirvana]

I must say that this thread is an interesting subject.....our very emotions are like drugs in themselves.....and if we sip from the cup of one emotion too much it is very easy to get addicted to that emotion....

....I reckon it is all about balance and being able to analyze your own mind and figure out why you get angry, then getting hold of the anger and assimilating/excreting it before it leads to you doing something that you will forever regret.....

I never understood anything until I learned the true value of life. Mountaineering is what did it for me. You literally have another persons life, and your own, in your hands at that moment. It makes you so close to the people around you. There's no place I'd rather be and it makes so incredibly happy that I have the desire to do these things. I know I'll always see new things and meet new people...snowboard in different lands etc.

I wake up so happy every morning like a new person. I really recommend that everyone find their own mountains to hike and climb, or maybe surf a big wave or something. You won't even remember what anger is.

its very hard to come out of being depressed or be angry about somthing for a long time however "justified" because in a way its easier to sit and be depressed and angry than get up and fight and sort yourselfe out, or if you have access to good cannabis medicate yourselfe and go about your day

You've discovered the same thing I have recently discovered in a different way of course (that is the beauty of life). People NEED people. I've always been a loner, but realize life is so pointless without other people. Read the book (or watch the movie) Into the Wild

 

[Guywithoutajeep]

Yeah I've seen that movie. It reinforced something that I learned a few years ago. People in our present age do not act like true humans. We are animals at heart. We spend most of our lives fighting that and who we truely are. When I'm out in the mountains or anywhere away from cars and lights and cities, I can truely become the person that I know I am and want to be.

This winter I'm going to be spending most of my life on a split snowboard, touring the Colorado Rockies with my dog, camping mountain faces, climbing, and descending. I hope I die doing it because I owe everything I have right now to mountaineering. It makes me work so fucking hard in my everyday life too.
