Saturday 11th August 2024.
Issues like politics and religion are always inflammatory. No two people will ever agree completely as they shouldn't - we each a "one-off", having a life that is unique to us alone - full of experiences, relationships, circumstances and situations that are unlike anyone else's. Together, they create a climate within which we form our individual character; our opinions, ideas and values. All those things shape who we become.
Repeatedly bringing up themes that consistently cause friction is sometimes called "flaming". Recently, we've seen a lot of flamers around here setting fires then occasionally chucking on a jug of petrol to ramp up the temperature. Typically for these fire starters, it's nothing more than their preferred brand of entertainment.
Whilst there's nothing wrong with having strong opinions and standing up for what we believe to be right, stress seriously affects our physical and mental wellbeing.
That iconic cartoon image we all know and love- the raging feller, his fists clenched tightly at the end of arms rigidly defiant at either side of the body, face turning a frightening shade of purple with eyes bulging - extreme blood pressure forcing steam to surge from his ears and nostrils isn't so far from the truth afterall. Elevated blood pressure levels are the most reliable indicator of an impending cardiac event.
Driving whilst angry is understood to be equally as dangerous as driving under the influence. Both rage and drunkeness
Take some deep breaths, count slowly to 10 - starve the fire of fuel and it will eventually burn itself out. Look after yourself and look out for one another💟
Mr Angry with Steve Wright - I'm So Angry
A curious one this based on a popular feature on Steve Wright's Radio One show in the 1980's. This song reached number 90 for two weeks in the UK in 1985.
