What are lental dal burgers???
Your anger arose from a personal situation and one that I can relate to completely. If I am personally attacked or, even worse, if my children or husband are personally attacked, I do get angry. Then, my heart beats faster and my hands may shake. And, yes, my words are not well chosen!
I'm like the Mommy bear protecting her cubs!
But in normal situations, for example, in stores, driving etc. I get annoyed. I can usually walk away from annoyances because they are unimportant. I can walk away from a discussion that's going nowhere and not harbor resentment. But, when someone is rude, I tell them they are rude...and then go on about my life.
When my kids were young, I was the one who ran upstairs, read them the riot act and then came back to a show asking, "What did I miss?" My husband would come back with a red face and with his heart racing...could never settle back in to relax. Guess who usually volunteered to go?
I think it's just a matter of our personalities and our makeup. Some of us raise our voices without feeling an internal struggle and others may not use their voices but feel that struggle for a long time.
As for the original discussion on anger toward bin Laden, I am sure that I could kill him if that were my job or if I was faced with the opportunity...and I don't think my heart would pound too rapidly.
