Open Arms, Open Eyes

All of us have rage problems. What differs is each individual's ability to manage it, the ability to go through it unscathed.

When we experience these fits, we usually look for a comfort zone, whether it be our parents, friends, or music. Or maybe even plates and cups to shatter. We need to cry, we need to let it out.

What if...the music or plates don't help much? And you find yourself alone, bitching and regretting. We learn lessons, because that's part of life. But why do we have to learn some lessons the hard or hardest way?

It's hard to find a silver lining during the storm. We are blinded by the rain and lightnings, the anger we feel. But the storm takes time to settle down, so we must learn to be patient, to think rationally, to see beyond what's now. Calming down is always a process, a process that baffles me like Quantum Physics. There is never an exact manner to reach a conclusion, for each situation is different from the other; every variable changes the outcome.

But one constraint is constant - our strength. The multiplying factor may be small or large, but we have strength. So we rely on it, we build upon it. Then we come out a better stronger person.

Each day is a challenge, and challenges are lessons hidden beyond the storm clouds.
