I dont reckon I could retaliate in kindness if I had just copped scalding water from another - thinking about it I may retaliate in kind, not kindness image.
Sure anger is an emotion thats a waste of energy, but c'mon there is a limit to what one can take isnt there...... I aint God - no way can I always 'turn the other cheek'.
I have a snap temper and when it goes IT GOES big time image... Thankfully, the older I get the less I snap image.
