A Soul Corrupted
By Nomar Knight
Anger can be a
most useful emotion. Unfortunately, most people allow raw anger to turn into
loathing. I’ve heard some people say that humans manifest their feelings about themselves
when lashing out at others. Although this may be true, anger is best reserved
for help with menial tasks such as prying open a stubborn lid on a jar.
Carrying a grudge is indeed like swallowing something
toxic and expecting the object of their anger to die as if that person were
drinking the tainted blood coursing through their veins. Inevitably, when the fuming
tyrant realizes what’s boiling in their insides does not affect their target,
another sliver of the angry soul burns off and permeates into the mountain of unnecessary
despair.
As luck would
have it, there are numerous ways to burn up the toxic emotion and use it for
good instead of evil. One way is to start an exercise program. A good couple
mile run can do wonders in redirecting the draining emotion. However, if you
prefer exercising the brain over fine tuning the body, then a great way to use
anger is through imaginary characters. Through writing, one can exact vengeance
in a way that would not permit the aggressor to be thrown in jail. In reality,
I’ve read news reports where mugging victims that reacted with anger got
injured or killed. I say True Death would be extremely counterproductive.
Now, for those
stubborn wannabe vigilantes reading this, if you insist on staying angry, then
perhaps a quiet way to let out your dark side is to be knighted into the realm
of witchcraft. No, I’m kidding of course. Not everyone can possess my powers.
Not everyone can call upon the forces of vengeance from the supernatural realm
and meat out a fitting punishment. Don’t worry. I haven’t killed any characters
in at least a month.
At any rate, if
you take one thing away from this blog entry is that anger is indeed a wasted
emotion that would be best channeled into something productive.
By the way, if
you really want to get even, then smile at your enemy and forgive them. You may
catch them off guard and release the poison from your soul once and for all.
Catch you on the
Dark Side!
