Thread Name: How do you keep from getting mad?
Subject: RE: How do you keep from getting mad?
Most of the time I use "logic" to keep from getting angry (this drives my wife nuts, as it does several other members of my family and friends). I like Zig Zigler's take on "kicking the cat." I figure that someone has kicked the person who is making me angry and he or she is just passing it on. Usually anger subsides in a short time, if you will just let it. Of course, please notice the word at the beginning of this paragraph - "Most." Sometimes I lose it and just kick the hell out of any "cat" in sight. Everyone has limits.
