Wishing someone dead...

angry - we do bad things because of anger

At the height of our anger, there are times when we cuss a lot. We also curse a lot. When we are angry towards someone, we have the tendency to bad-mouth them. but, was there a time when out of anger towards another person that you wished he/she was dead?I would by lying if I say that I never did this. Yes, there were times when I wished some people dead. Well, for some, I was just really very angry and I did not mean what I said. Of course, I always get to realize that what I just said was wrong so I just take back whatever it was that I said. How about you?

Dont be rude my friend, lets put it the other way arround. A guy was so mad at you and he prayed and it was answered , then we all die. Do we want our God to be always on our side everytime we are mad? Maybe you are calling not God but the devil. Our God is a loving God. judt think of it.

Hello dolce-vita, I think at some point and time everyone feels this way. I do, only never said it. My husband has had 2 heart-attacks, but with the way he raises hell you would never think so. I do all I can to keep peace, but sometimes it's just not enough. But I can't tell you how many times I have said it in my head. popciclecold

I try never to say anything like that even in the heat of anger. If anything happened after I said something like that, I could never live with it. Besides no matter how mad I've been I've really never wished anyone that much ill.

You are exactly right. It is so hard to do but that is what we are suppose to do.

No never not me as I had that said to me when my father was very angry with me a very long time ago. Nothing anyone has said since can equal the hurt I felt that day as I was just a ten year old little girl. I had no idea at that time that he was just so furious that he might not have meant that. No and he did not apologize to me ever.so I often wondered if maybe reallydid mean that.So I will never say that outloud to anyone no matter how angry I may be. words hurt they really do.

i will be honest as well yes... i had ever said that to my hubby when we are arguing really badly as i am really angry with him and can't control my emotions... my hubby can't control his as well and had said many nasty things to me... so i think we are even... but both of us regret it and try to control our tempers now...

When I was first married I would wish my husband got beaten up and so feel what it was like. That would never happen though because he was careful to only hit women behind closed doors. I used to pray that he would be in a car accident on the way home.

Yes. I have done the very same thing at times. I have said those words but truly did not really mean them. I wish to take the words back also because I was just mad at the time.

Sure I did, more than a few times. It is unfortunate but I don't mind admitting it. And like you, after that, I will try to "take it back" by announcing that I didn't make it. Move on thereafter.

Yes, I curse sometimes, I was angry but I never wished someone to die. It is one of my attitude that I want to get away with. As I grow older, I am realizing I should not, right now I can reduce my anger feeling. I just dont speak up what I mean because I know it is hurting. When I get angry, after a few minutes it is gone. Of course there is some bad feeling inside but I just dont think about it. I will be affected if I have to think about it.

There have been times in my life where I have felt that way but I don't tell the person that.

I use to have a terrible temper and say and think very mean things when I felt someone had wronged me. Usually it was family. I didn't mean them but I still said them. I wish so many times I could take back some of the things I've said but you can't. All you can do is try to change.

the same for me too. there were times that i just got so angry with a person that i can't help but wished him/her to die. to be erased from the face of the Earth. but of course, i didn't really mean it and i regretted it on a later time. i think its normal to say things like that when we're angry. we say things that can make us feel better even if those are the worst things ever. it would be just so bad if the person who would say it really means it and would be happy if it would really happen. that would be crazy.

Some people are so nasty that we could almost blow our tops with anger to them. Getting angry is natural to any human. The only problem is that if we can not control our emotions we will find ourselves in some kind of big trouble. Perhaps that's the reason why some people commit grave offenses (like murder) because of uncontrolled or excessive emotions. Then, blame ourselves.
