    what do you fight over? do you have tiffs over the smallest crap or save it for bigger issues? would you be the aggressive type or passive? have you much of a temper?

    I know we're only human but I try to avoid fights as much as possible, esp. trivial stuff like who left the crumbs in the butter or forgot to take the bins out. waste of ****ing time and energy and nobody wins. I try and save it for the personal stuff that matters.

    Depends on my humour, mostly I try and keep happy and positive but sometimes I slip and project my anger on nearest and dearest,friend or foe or traffic light.

    I had an awful temper growing up and - probably fueled by hating the person I was becoming - I was quite angry and aggressive in my college years too. Did not get into any fights though. Which is probably a bad thing. Looking back I really think some people really should have smacked that old self obsessed wreck that was me around a bit. Might have done me good.

    Discovered a path in life for myself - found several methods of self discipline too which sorted out the anger issues - started liking myself. And THESE days - no it would take a LOT to make me fight over anything petty or barely relevant. It would take something that really matters now to get me to willingly enter into "battle" as it were.

    I do mutual meditation sessions (i "teach" them but you can not really "teach" this stuff so the best I can do is call them mutual sessions) for free for locals around here - and have done for some time now - and originally i did it free for students - because it helps with concentration and learning. But more and more I found different kinds of people responding to my Adverts.

    And although its a localized anecdote - I do find that I am getting less and less people on spiritual or personal paths coming to me - and more and more people suffering from either addiction or anger issues.

    I can only hope this is purely anecdotal and local and not representative of our society as a whole - because if it is we are becoming a really lost - directionless - angry and angst ridden society over time.
