anger=bad

i believe that after seeing the topic of my blog all of you will know what i will be blogging about today. anger is an emotion that all of us experience in our lives and sometimes, and sometimes we will not consider about the consequences when we are angry and we will regret after doing it. today i will be talking about the bad points of anger.

few days before my brother did something that got me on my nerves. i was very angry, and my anger got the better of me and i was blinded by my anger. i did not care about the consequences, and i went over grabbed his hands, and i did consider about giving him a punch. however i got rid of that intention and i just slammed his hands, and i walked away. however i was conscientious that he was uttering something behind my back when i was walking away. i did not care. after that when i returned back to my seat i realised that what i did was too rash and i regretted doing it. i gritted my teeth and i scolded myself for letting my anger get the better of me. after that when i got back to see my brother i saw him consoling his hands. i felt sorry for him. i told myself that whatever happens in the future i would not take it out on him and i shall think of other solutions to the problem. however, who knows, in the future i may do the same thing as i dd to him just now? thus anger is such a bad thing because it is like a laser. once you get shot by it you will be blinded and you do not know what you will do. after that when you recover from it you will look at the mess you are in and start regretting.

i believe that many of you people always let your anger get the better of you and you will vent your anger on people or things, and after that you regret it, for doing harm to yourself or to the person. i heard my form teacher, mr eddie lau talk about it in class. when he was in a quarrel with his wife, obviously he wouldn't hit his wife but instead, he will take it out on the wall. he would punch the wall with all his mights, and then he will try and "console" his hands later, and he himself said that it was a bad thing to do. by punching the wall with your fists, you will cause harm to your knuckles and do you expect to just keep hitting the wall with your fists everytime you get into a quarrel with your wife? do you think that it is a smart way to deal with it?

a smart way to deal with anger is to walk away. yes, and this is a point in which my teacher taught us to do. by walking away from the scene of argument you will not be able to see the person which caused irritant to you, and you will not use any forms of violence, be it verbal violence or physical violence. my friends suggested closing your eyes. i think that it is also feasible because by closing our eyes, we will not be able to look at the scene in which the argument took place and you will have time to cool down and think of a good solution to the problem.

hence i have come to an end of my post today. comments will be greatly appreciated. thank you and goodbye.

Integrity

Integrity, is one important moral in our lives. We are tested on integrity most of the time. For example, when we see a wallet on the floor, we are tempted to take it, and our integrity is put to the test. On one side of our brain, we know that the money inside the wallet can be used for many purposes. On the other hand, we are taught that we should be honest with ourselves. So we learn to make choices here. One, is to stay there and wait for the owner to appear htand we get to enjoy the sweetness of doing a good deed, and we will remember the incident forever, because we had done a good deed and won against the dark side. and two, is to take the money is use it for other purposes, however, causing discomfort in our heart and we will remember this incident for the rest of our live, of course in a negative sense.
Now i shall list some examples of how integrity is important. Recently my brother lost his phone. He was very urgent as he needed to use the toilet, and he placed his belongings on the floor and asked for my mother to take the things along with her. However, she overlooked the phone on the floor, as it was quite dark. So the phone was left there lying on the ground, becoming the bait, lying there in wait to become the new belonging of the other person. It was only a period of few minutes, when my brother realised that he has lost his phone. And when he went back there to check whether the phone was there, it was gone, to his dismay. Somehow this person did not care about the feelings of others when he took the phone. He did not know how desperate he was finding his phone. I am not saying that it is completely his fault, but he should have just stood there with the phone, waiting for the owner to appear. This incident has not only happened to my brother, but also to my mother and me. Similarly, it is only a period of minutes, and when we went back there to find our phone, it was gone. Gone for good. Of course we were angry at the dishonesty and the lack of integrity the person possess. I do not think that the person wants people to take his very own belongings. I do believe that the person wants his belongings to be returned to him. It reflects very badly on the parents, because they brougth you up not for you to take others belongings, but to become a good man with great contribvution to the society. I do hope that the person who took away my brother's phone would have a taste of his own medicine, and it is the only way that can make him know how important integrity is. If he does not have a taste of his own medicine then he will continue to take other people's belongings without knowing how hurtful it is for them to see their very own belongings disappear before their eyes, especially they have what they call it the "bond" with their belongings. Hence, integrity is a very important moral because this reflects on the up-bringing of the person.
Let me make another example. Today my History teacher was reprimanding the class because they were suspected of copying answers. He gave us homework to do, and we found the answers on the internet, and most people took the answers from the internet, without reading the hand-outs that we were supposed to read. I admit that I am one of them, but when he was scolding and was talking to us about the integrity value inside us, me, as though being given a slap, woke up from it. I learnt more about one of the core values in Hwa Chong, which is also the topic that i am talking about today, which is that integrity is an important yet strict value. It is very important because it will be with me until the moment i die, and that I should be practising on my inteegrity values now, yet strict because in the future, when you are in the university, if you copy any work from the internet without doing any reserach, you would be expelled from the university, and thus I was glad that he scolded us today, so that in the future I would exercise more on my integrity value and not to infringe the copyrights rule.
Hence, integrity is so important because it is useful for us if we use it correctly, but it will in turn harm us if we use it in the wrong way. That's all for my blog post today. Please comment. Thank you.
