After reflecting I come to some sort of conclusion, which is satisfying and makes it easier to get over the situation. Than I try coming up with a solution that will help me avoid the situation in the future. This process usually makes me feel better, and it clears my mind.

Personally I have not experienced those tragic situations; but the following tricks can help deal with the pain. The best thing to do when you are disappointed is to take a nap. A restful nap clears my mind, and gives my body rest which helps soften my pain. Aside from a nap, I like to play video games and watch TV, because they are soothing activities that take my mind off the disappointment. These activities can help ease the pain, but they are not permanent

    Lisa Tessman’s article describes the three problematic traits towards political resistance: anger, courage, and loyalty. With anger, Tessman thinks that political resisters need to “train” or control their anger carefully; otherwise, it could lead to errors where people can become angry at the wrong target or use their anger to an excessive degree (Tessman, 120). When people attack the wrong target, it makes it harder for officials to find the oppressors who did the deeds. For example, if African Americans attack the Whites for causing injustices of slavery, the question would determine which makes us angry: the Whites in general or the Whites’ unjust actions. The wrong target is to attack the people rather than the action.…

I’ve often thought that if I could just cut out my tongue or tape my mouth shut my walk with the Lord would be infinitely easier. It would stop the unkind word, the undisciplined word, the stupid word, the inaccurate word, etc. from escaping my mouth and becoming reality rather than just thought. Not to mention the fact that it would also prevent the sin of gluttony!…
