Anger Problems

The world could be a pretty frightening place. We don't respect each other anymore. We feel that we're entitled to anything we want. When we see something we want, we take it without paying for it, even if we have to kill to get it.
There's a sad story of a young man who was killed on his birthday because a customer at his brother's doubles stand stabbed him. Why?  Because the customer refused to pay four dollars for one of vendor's doubles. (Doubles is a small, savory pastry made ground chick pea flour and filled with curry mango, curried chickpeas, pepper.)
Its just like I wrote about the radio announcer a few days ago, how he was miffed at the way a young lady spoke to him, a mature man. The thing is, you're afraid to answer or remonstrate with anyone anymore for fear of being maimed or killed.
Why are these things happening? Why are people so angry? So ready to fly off the handle for the simplest thing? The reasons are many:

• Unresolved issues
• Abuse as a child
• Generational trait passed from parent to child
• Tiredness and or ill health
• Lack of justice in a situation when one thinks they're being mistreated
• Sense of entitlement to things they never had. Felt cheated.
• Righteous indignation because of sin

My country has a nice expression: monkey see, monkey do. Our children learn from, AND DO what they see their elders do.  I'm fast seeing my country turning into Tombstone, but unfortunately Wyatt Earp seems to have gone on holiday somewhere. I will speak further about this situation.

" A gentle answer turns away wrath, 
    but a harsh word stirs up anger." Proverbs 15: 1 (New International Version)
