Anger and inspiration

Someone was just very angry with me. And as I mostly use the things that happen to me or around me for my daily post it is kind of logical to try to connect anger to inspiration. I feel still upset though, as the anger of the other party was very big, very bad. But I decided to stand my ground. As even though I had done something I could imagine the other party was upset about, angry about, I felt treated unfair.

And yes, even though I’m still upset I guess I did the right thing, standing my ground, thinking of a sentence in Think and Grow Rich: ‘why not put up a stiff fight…’, even though I did not really fight back as the other person was too upset and might have hurt me, as he actually started throwing things at me, damaging things.

Still, standing my ground also gives me a good feeling somewhere below feeling very upset. I feel some kind of power I did not give in to some demands that I thought were wrong. But the type of anger was that bad that I really had to think what to do, how to respond, as bad things might have happened.

So yes, anger can inspire I guess, but only after being upset and when you didn’t let you get dragged into the fight.

And finally I want to share a document here about ending fights: 12 steps to end the fights. Has nothing really to do with this site, but I think there are some very useful suggestions in there on how to deal with anger.
