Not sure how many of you remember last Spring when I full-on punched that door in my house and damn near broke my hand. I was angry, you see. In a moment of frustration, stress, rage, confusion, sorrow, emotional upset? I acted irrationally. That happens to humans, when our emotions go cross-wired and are heightened. Sometimes we act out. Its never a moment of pride. Rarely is it a moment of rational thought or logic. I punched an inanimate object and much fun was had on my page at my expense later as I owned my stupidity and admitted what I did. Punch a pillow next time was the general response. But in my moment of upset, I only knew I didnt want to punch a living thing. I only knew I had so much pent up in me that some had to explode out, and that was the only logical thought I had - dont hit a living thing- but let the rage and anger OUT. And I did. And I am NOT proud. But I did it. Humans do irrational things when pushed passed their limits of emotional control. Humans do irrational things when theyre filled with rage. These emotions DO exist within ALL OF US. Some can handle it better than others, but it DOES exist IN US ALL. Do I understand the riots? NO. Im not there. Do I understand the emotions behind that rage? In line with my own behavior, yes I do. I cant and wont judge. Im only hoping for peace, for everyone, knowing at times peace is the farthest thing from an individuals heart. I can only hope for those in a state of unrest that they are able to quiet their negative emotions to a state of being level, and ? NOT JUDGE ANYONE, knowing what darkness has existed in myself.
