Section 7 Anger can make the situation spiral out of control

Anger not only does not solve the problem, but on the contrary, it complicates the problem! Because when you are angry, you can't control it, how can you control the situation.

Some creatures can't see anything during the day, because of their natural makeup. A person who is full of resentment and pain cannot recognize any truth. As the saying goes, "An angry man will only scold but not see anything." ”

Angry people tend to make irrational choices, and in these choices, very few people are able to control their actions and thoughts, and they are unable to restrain their actions. Especially when you are angry, 85% of the actions you choose are wrong.

Once upon a time there was a very wealthy widow who was known in her social circle for her generosity. She had a faithful and hardworking maid. One day, on a whim, her maid wanted to find some way to investigate her master's compassion and mercy, to see if her master was truly sincere from the heart, or if he was disguised for the sake of her own social image.

The maid did not get up until almost noon that day, and the mistress, in a fit of rage, abused the maid and whipped her, so that the maid was scarred. Word of the story spread throughout the neighborhood, and she not only lost a loyal servant, but also lost her reputation.

Sometimes when you think about it, anger is like a blown candle that temporarily blinds people and makes them act against common sense.

As the saying goes, "Anger rises from the heart, and evil grows from the guts." "In everyday life, there is no shortage of examples of small things that can cause a big disaster.

The two adjacent tables in the restaurant were unrelated to each other, because the people at one of the tables accidentally kicked down the wine bottle placed on the floor by the other table while walking, as if they had been greatly insulted, their eyes were round, their lips trembled, and they looked extremely angry. As a result, the two sides did not show weakness to each other, and a small incident led to a scuffle, so that the police appeared. Come to think of it, it's really a pity. If one party had been polite at the time and said something like "I'm sorry" or "it's okay", it might have been a happy ending. Originally, the friends should have been happy to eat together, but because of this untimely "anger", things came to an unmanageable end.

Angry people tend to speak the truth, but the truth is not always available, especially in front of one's own opponents or enemies. When we finish reading this story, we will have a deeper understanding of this sentence.

After the defeat of Napoleon's war of aggression against Russia in 1812, Russia, Britain, Prussia and other countries formed an anti-French alliance and began a counteroffensive. Napoleon won a number of battles, but the general trend was getting worse. France's ally, Austria, was actively preparing for war and threatening to stop the alliance, and put forward various conditions, which Napoleon categorically refused.

In July 1813, Napoleon met with the Austrian envoy Metternich. He wanted to take the opportunity to threaten Metternich and find out the results of his recent talks with the Tsar. With a sword at his waist and a hat under his arm, Napoleon received Metternich with great dignity. After saying a few polite words and greeting Emperor Francis, his face sank and he went straight to the point: "It turns out that you also want to fight." Well, you're fighting the battle. I have already defeated the Russians at Bautzen, and now you want your turn. If you want to do that, see you in Vienna. ”

Seeing that his opponent was on fire, Metternich forgot his dignity, so he became more and more calm, deliberately irritating Napoleon, the aggressive bison. He reminded Napoleon that peace depended on you, and that your power must be reduced to a reasonable limit, or you would fall in the struggle ahead. Enraged, Napoleon declared that no alliance could frighten him, and that he could win no matter how strong the opposing forces were. Napoleon then said that he had an accurate knowledge of the Austrian army, and that he received detailed information about it every day, and that people like me did not care much about the lives of a million people. With that, he tossed his hat aside, and Metternich didn't pick it up for him.

Seeing that the threat and intimidation did not work, Napoleon turned to sweet words to coax Metternich. As Metternich was leaving, Napoleon patted the Austrian minister on the shoulder and said calmly: "Well, you know what is going to happen, don't you?" You're not going to make war on me, are you! Metternich immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you are finished, I had a premonition when I came, and now I am sure of it." Soon Austria joined the ranks of the Sixth Anti-French Coalition.

Obviously, in this contest, the winner was Metternich, and Napoleon, who had always been known for his fickleness, could not control his anger, and repeatedly lost his temper and said some big and angry words, trying to coerce Metternich. Metternich, on the other hand, was able to act calmly, not dishonoring his mission, and losing no time in provoking Napoleon with his words, exposing his inner world. Napoleon fell for Metternich's scheme.

As the saying goes, "If you are in a hurry, you will lose, and if you are angry, you will be unwise." "Once feelings lose the restraint of reason, they will inevitably lead people to the abyss of failure. When a person is angry, his thinking must be limited, and his evil ability to control the situation will inevitably decrease.

There is a poem that says, "Even if a fire burns in your heart, don't let a trace of green smoke rise from your nostrils." "Because when the fire of anger burns, people lose their minds and the situation gets out of control.
