It's been a long time since the lat time I got angry that I don't even remember. I work hard at controlling my temper. Reading the Bible every day helps a lot.
Ephesians 4:31-32 King James Version (KJV) 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

I understand! However, we should control our temper at all times. If we are angry over something, it is best to state our displeasure in a calm way so that we can make peace. Best to be angry at home when alone.
Proverbs 17:27 Good News Translation (GNT) 27 Those who are sure of themselves do not talk all the time. People who stay calm have real insight.
Proverbs 29:22 Good News Translation (GNT) 22 People with quick tempers cause a lot of quarreling and trouble.
Ephesians 4:26-27 Good News Translation (GNT) 26 If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day. 27 Don't give the Devil a chance.

Hello 1hopefulman, greetings. I agree with you. Reading the Bible everyday helps a lot. To be spiritually minded is life and peace. But sometimes, we cannot avoid to get angry, not to the point of wanting to get even, but only to show our righteous indignation. Be angry but do not sin.

Life experience and tryig to follow the Bible principles has taught me that getting angry doesn't lead to anything good.
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." 1Corinthians 13 (New International Version)
[i]17 Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everyone. 18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,”[d] says the Lord.
20 On the contrary:
“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head.”
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.[/i]Romans 12 (New International Version)

Thank you..
But believe me, I have a lot to learn too. And you know where I have learned what I know.. I am so grateful that God sent people to help me to understand the value of the Bible.
Have a great day..

Hello lampar greetings. Even if that happens my friend, can you still count from one to ten before you unleash the full force of your anger? Please...

there is a difference between getting angry or a boiling point.. (in last case you can walk away.. but also being angry can be earlier as the boiling point).
I think there is less what can get me that far. This besides of the fact I am not that interested in what most people say or think. I keep wondering and asking why people are the way they are. I say what is on my mind or ask. If I can't live with it I walk away. Quess the only thing that can make me angry is injustice and probably if it has to do with my children.

When I am lied to, as in really hard core lies. And when somebody promised me something and wasn't able to do it. Actually, when somebody lies to me or didn't do his promise to me, I expect them to have a good reason for doing so. Otherwise, I would be boiling mad.

Hello Raine38, greetings. It seems to be that lying is the "boiling point" of many. No wonder it is one of the Ten Commandments. Cheers.

The point where people start telling lies, start bragging, throw tongue-puns on me.

Hello night01watcher, greetings. Everyone of us react to something when we reach our "boiling point" so to speak. After all, this is part of our being alive.

I get angry when my husband easily gets angry of something not serious. I just want him to be cool but he's ill-tempered. I hope he'll learn to grow. I also get angry if someone tries to lie to me. Truth will be revealed someday so why lie? I hope they'll just be brave enough and tell me the truth at once. I guess I can only enumerate two. LOL. Happy mylotting.

I don't usually find myself at the "boiling point" very often because it's not healthy! I do get upset and then usually remove myself from the situation that is upsetting me. I can usually take a lot of people's deceiving me before I get past the point of upset to the " boiling point." I know that once the boiling point comes then there is going to be an explosion!
