When others make mistakes or offend us, we sometimes confront them with criticism and rage. After all, they deserve it!
Of course, when people feel attacked they tend to retaliate. The fighting escalates. Everyone loses.
In summary: We were angry because there was a problem. Because we were angry, the problem did not get fixed.
Almost everyone loses their temper. That’s part of being human. But it’s worth wondering whether acting furious ever moves us closer to the outcome we want.
Are we prioritizing justified anger or problem resolution?
