how long do you dwell on your anger?

It seems that people these days proclaim to be Christian, but harbor grudges. If one truly is a Christian and forgives someone who does them wrong, they are relieved of the burden of carrying that grudge which can be a VERY heavy load. The only one a grudge hurts is the one who carries it. The one who is the object of that grudge is seldom aware of any such thing. Here again, you only hit around the edges of the problem. If you expect help with these things, you should give enough detail for others to know exactly what is going on. I suspect you are very young and have few life experiences to draw on and solve these types of problems. Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to guide you and you will be able to forgive and forget, not having to carry these grudges.

It depends on what I've angered for. Anger really does no good thing except you will relieve your temporary embarrassment or stress. But in the end it will ruined your life. Sometimes I got angry with some people on how they treat the others. It goes like a month and on that time of my life I was focusing on how to avenge to them. I lost some friends and time but in the end i failed to do it. I was thinking that if I do it i might be like them.

i don't. there are really times that we cant control our emotions but we can get mad and not let other people know about it. what i usually do is stay away from people or take a walk for a while. i always tell myself not to get mad cause for me being mad is a sin. we can resolve things in a calm and peaceful way. i can't remember the last time i was mad. hehehe..

I dont know but me I cant forgive somebody if I am not ready ..well except those little arguments with my hubby, its just that I need time to get over it,, because once my trust is broken its hard for me to look the person as the same person..

it is easy to forgive but its hard to forget. still the forgiveness you have given is not the 100%. coz no matter how you say that they are forgiven you will always remember what they have done to you and how they hurt you. many have said if god can forgive why do we can't. it is because we are only human. we are not God who can forgive us in every mistakes/sin we have done. he have that pure heart that can easily forgive and forget. if you are still angry and can't let go of the things that deeply hurt you. you have to heal that pain before saying that you have forgive them and that they are forgiven and you already forgot those things. : ).

I am usually angry for like 10-15 minutes and then nothing ... xD

It's in the bible that we should not stay angry for long . It's also said that "vengeance is not ours it's God". And it's also said God forgives those who forgives. So, try to just put them in your mind so you will avoid staying angry with someone for a long time.

when things upset me or whenever I get mad or angry, it usually last for the whole day... now since I'm trying everyday to change my mindset towards life and that I just want my mind to be conditioned to think only what is good, what is positive, and what's so good about life in general... so whenever I get upset now, it only last for about an hour or two.

I can easily forget what was done to me or I can dwell with my anger after a week! hahaha. I will just think of the good things instead of the cause of my anger. We are all different so i think you can control your own self. Godbless

It depends on what is causing the anger. If the hurt is causing too much anger it becomes something I could hardly just let go. My anger can subside even after a short moment, but like you I also want to avenge myself because it makes me feel better. I can forgive but there are just instances that I cant forget and won't be able to help being vindictive. But now I am also trying to change to just let these people be because it isn't healthy and consider that they are not worth it.

It depends on the situation. It doesn't have to last very long. I read an article before that stress in the form anger contributes to heart problems. So to have a healthy a heart I practice to resolve my anger earlier.
