Anger is Fleeting but Despair is Lasting

I never stay mad for long. Instead of immediately expressing that anger I stop myself and try to understand why a person would do the things they have done. If you truly understand the person behind the actions all is left is sadness. Sadness because you understand the their own pain and anguish. Sadness because they sometimes fail to realize that what they do is a vicious cycle of pain in which your actions always find a way to come back at you. Some call it karma. It is unfortunate because most of the time even if you yourself notice it, the person themselves do not do anything about it. That is why they say ignorance is bliss. In this sense knowledge can be depressing but it also presents the possibility of fixing the problem despite how miniscule that might be.
