Your Anger Lesson

This morning I read a post on Facebook written by a woman who apparently had been cut off in traffic. She obviously was pretty ticked off about it since she wrote a whole paragraph to vent and explain. Someone cut in front of her while driving. She was not hurt, nor was the other driver. There was no accident, nor any other issue except with the woman who was writing.

Instead of being grateful she nor anyone else was hurt, she decided to follow the driver, take photos of the car, and threatened if she ever saw it again she was going to “T-Bone” the car! If you are not familiar with the term “T-Bone” it is when a car hits the driver’s side of another vehicle head on creating a “T” as they crash right into the door. T-Boning is an accident that could kill the driver in the other car.

Therefore this woman was basically saying she wanted to inflict bodily harm on the other and possibly take their life for cutting her off in traffic. I am not defending any action that might have caused an accident. I am saying it did not cause one. I wondered why this woman could not see she was fortunate nothing happened? Instead her traffic road rage seethed so much inside her she wanted someone to be harmed because of it.

We live in such an angry world lately, especially in traffic. It’s enough to make a person not want to drive at all! I’ve had others cut me off before and I am sure in a frenzy of being in the wrong lane I have cut someone else off before. (No evil intent involved!). The problem with the whole situation I just described above has less to do with the woman’s anger than it does what her emotion and intention put out there in the energy field of the Universe. She surely will reap what she sows, unfortunately. It’s not just a “maybe” it is a “definite.” If we use emotion, intention, and the spoken word toward inflicting harm on another what happens is we activate the Universal laws that govern all life.

This woman just endangered herself to have something happen to her that goes far beyond her anger about getting cut off in traffic. She has set in motion an event that could harm her or even take her life. Her only hope here is forgiveness, gratitude and asking for merciful understanding. Of course, she would have to be aware of what she has done in order to receive any of that.

The lesson here once again is to be careful what you put out there. Live a life of gratitude, grace, mercy, and understanding. If you practice this daily, you are less likely to respond in a manor that will come back to haunt you in any given situation. This is serious folks. It’s no laughing matter that’s for sure. Becoming aware and awake is important in life. Seeking spiritual truth is also important in life. Heed the words from God….”you will surely reap what you sow.”

I hope you are putting your best foot forward and not inflicting harm on others in your daily life; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. We all need this lesson and we need it daily! Don’t wait until you have heaped coals upon your head in life. If you wonder why difficult things always seem to happen to you, it is not just bad luck. Go into your emotional, verbal, and thought life. Practice daily how to live a life of peace, understanding, awareness, and truth.
