Why Do We Get Mad ?

I can think of know other reason

There is no purpose in it

It never solves any problem

It just makes everyone all riled up and aggrivated

We often say things we don't mean and can't take back

Someone ends up in tears and the other person ends up yelling in someones ear

Our emotions are out of control

We keep saying things back and forth

Trying to get in the last word

You think we would of learned by now

After being in hundreds if not thousands of situations

Where we have used the same skills

It is time to change all this

Let me take you to a place where I have been

Come along for the ride and see if you see what I see

A problem starts with a difference of opinion which is good

As long as we talk it out like two adults should

Then it gets heated as one person does not agree

This is where it gets tricky

Now it is like a bomb and the fuse has been lit

We can keep going and say some nasty things

Sooner or later the bomb will explode

Kaboom!!!!

We know the outcome is never nice

Lets stomp on the fuse together which many times won't happen

So at least throw the bomb far from here

Let it explode and now we have to pick up the pieces

No one got hurt and that's a good thing

Now lets pick apart the problem and see where the pain lies

What I said was.. and what was so wrong with that

It's not what you said but how you said it

You were yelling in my ear

You started first

I was making a point

You made your point clear when you started slamming things

Why break something then we both have to pay to get it fixed

That's not smart

Well I have told you before and you still don't listen

Every time you get in a mood you get real mad and all you see is red

I asked you to stop nicely you didn't

How could I when you act the same way as before

Nothing has changed and I don't have an answer to your problem right now

You want a quick answer and there is none to be found

You should of stopped what you were doing and the continue what you were doing later

When you have had time to cool down

You insisted everything has to be done now !

That is far from the truth

It is your way of compaining and if you don't stop I try to walk away

You say I AM TALKING TO YOU DON'T WALK AWAY

I have been here too many times and you only get upset and anything else said adds more fuel for the fire

You go one way and I go another

Nothing gets done

We hugged after and both said we are sorry

After awhile we don't even know what the problem was

Why were we fighting ?

I said this and you say that

We were we both fighting for the cause

Have we been trained over the years never to give in

Don't give up right or wrong

That's a sad thought that we had lost control

Even worse that we could hurt the one person we love so much

Are we really trying to drive each other crazy ?

Then hours later together acting as if nothing had ever happened

That is bizzare and not right

Until the next fight

I think we have to dig deeper so this problem doesn't come up again

My wife thinks we should just burry the hatchet deep in the woods

She says later and I know soon it will be forgotten

I think it is like eggs that go bad

They soon spoil and until the smell gets out of control

Then you both agree they are wrotten

No one lifts a finger and then it is too late

We repeat the cycle all over again

I will wait a few days and see if we can talk about it once more

Maybe once and for all we can close this door for sure
