Whoever invented "Count till ten before reacting" had some brilliant point!

What have I been up to lately? What is happening around, all over the world, everywhere I go? I have a one and only answer: FRUSTRATION.

Friends go out. Out of boredom, out of the lack of amusement, out of whatever it is, they have a fight. Why? Did anyone insult the other? Did anyone felt some sudden hate for the other? Did anyone hit the other? No. What then? Misunderstanding. Why do we misunderstand one another? Simply because we don't give ourselves the chance to think things over..to listen properly..to understand and here's the tricky part: to think of a concrete, and most of all proper reaction. This pretty much takes about ten seconds, so I would advise everyone as well as myself to take this anonymous advice into consideration: Count till ten before reacting.

Believe me, it will save us zillions of things: nerves first of all, time, health, anger and sorrows.
You can't believe how many people I know face problems because of this frustration. Needless to say that such frustration causes the death of some people, who suffer from health problems (diabetes or high or low blood pressure). Some of my relatives for instance have such trouble, which enlarges the worrying circle of life. Grandparents worry about their children and grandchildren. Grandparents get sick out of being nervous. Grandparents force their children (indirectly) to take care of them, go to the doctor and worry about them instead of working properly. Children do the same thing. Sometimes I get the impression that people are addicted to being nervous, so they worry about anything and everything. And if there is nothing to worry about (which happens rarely), we can worry about the fact that we're worrying. There will always be something to worry about, don't worry. (Excuse me, a bit excited)

Personally, I am trying hard to do the 'counting' thing, so please wish me luck. So, if I will fail in convincing others of this brilliant idea (which is totally for their own sake), I hope I would at least help myself with it and save myself from worrying.

People, don't worry, please!!

I agree, people tend to react very quickly, usually without thinkin.. This is the effect of emotions, frustration in this case.
Sometimes people also tend to misunderstand and even want to misunderstand because of this frustration. I knw this feeling. Want to pick a fight when they r frustrated and all..
And good luck wth the couting thing lol, think it's a good idea :)
Might adopt it too sometime. Seems useful :D
