Las palabras son cuchillos filosos cuando estamos enojados, pues no hablamos con el corazón sino con la ira y la rabia. Pero después que el enojo pasa ya no podemos hacer nada para recoger todas esas malas palabras e insultos. Es totalmente normal estar algunas veces de mal humor, lo difícil es saber como manejarlo sin lastimar a los seres que tenemos a nuestro al rededor.

Being in a bad mood is not a frequent state for me, I am usually worried, stressed or overwhelmed but not in a bad mood. However, when that happens and my good mood goes on vacation, I can tell you that I am not good company for anyone, so it is better to leave me alone. One of the things that helps me change my mood is music, music relaxes me and diverts my attention from the focus of my bad mood to the lyrics and melody of the song. If I am very upset and I think I might hurt or injure someone with my words, then I prefer to walk away and pray.

Words are sharp knives when we are angry, for we do not speak from the heart but from anger and rage. But after the anger passes we can no longer do anything to pick up all those bad words and insults. It is totally normal to be sometimes in a bad mood, the difficult thing is to know how to handle it without hurting the people around us.

A difficult and profound question, it is here where theory and practice collide in my being. Theoretically and due to my religious formation, I know perfectly well that we should forgive and turn the other cheek, that is, give a new opportunity to that person who has deceived us and therefore hurt us. However, deep inside me I am a spiteful person, a defect that I work hard on. I am capable of giving second chances, of course, but once someone destroys my trust I never get it back. Over the years I have become more cautious and think very carefully before trusting someone blindly. As the saying goes: Trust is like a glass cup.

Writing this post turned out to be for me an exercise of introspection and reflection, I was pleased to have dared to respond. I take this opportunity to invite my friends @creacioneslelys, @linita and @carolinacardoza to participate and tell us about their experience. Thanks for reading, greetings and blessings.
