I came across this... I truly believe in it, I do! But while in a heated moment, it can be SO challenging to keep one's mouth shut and just walk away or not say anything!
And I've often wondered... when we suppress our angry emotions, is that truly healthy for us? Aren't we suppose to release that anger? I suppose we could go to our rooms and pound the crap out of the pillows, right? But what about those initial reactions of wanting to hurt back? Why shouldn't we?? Cause then our world would just revolve in a endless cycle of hate and anger? I guess... Sometimes, it just feels so good to react and let our anger be released the way we would like it to. Just in times of joy, whether one wants to scream at the top of their lungs or jump up and down, the feeling is in us and we want to release it. It'd be like me telling another not to jump up and down and, rather, go take the dog for a walk.
There's also that comment of not stooping down to another's negative level... well, why would I want to spend extra energy to be the bigger person towards a negative-doer when they clearly don't deserve it?? They deserve to be treated as they are treating others. It's like letting others punch me and I should just stand there and let them... WHA?? When, instead, I could have the satisfaction of releasing my reaction and pushing their buttons as well. I'd rather much spend extra energy on somebody else who deserves it.
