In the moment

The words we say during the spur of the moment, during the heat of the argument, do they still count the next day?


If they don’t mean anything, then why do we say those words in the first place?


Are these words the pent up feelings that have been kept inside all these while, waiting for the right moment to come out in the open?


I guess only the person who has, in fact, said the words will know the answers to the above questions.


Personally, I say the things I said and do the things I do during moments of anger are mostly done out of spite. On occasions, I do regret my actions about 30 seconds later but my ego always holds me back from eating my words.


And to that someone who thought that I have no temper at all, well, as I’ve always told you, you are absolutely wrong.


But I have to admit that it takes a lot to push my button (on a normal day) but somehow or rather this particular person seems to have the knack of doing it. At times I wonder if the problem lies within me or that person or simply just that when two particular person who is so damn f**king stubborn and refuses to back down come together that problem arise.

Just as I am,

if you don't mean it, don't say it. Don't cut off your nose to spite your face

I try to minimize this nowadays. During heated discussion, or argument you called it, we tend to lose our sight and forget our objectives, so words come out without consulting our brain. And this is what happen, more misunderstanding / negative feeling arise. At the end, no one gain from the incident.

On a more serious scenario, we regret so much but have no way to save the situation. This is what I hate most.

Anonymous #1: How true but somehow the mouth seems to overpower the brain during moments like this. Every single time.

Alexis: Absolutely agree with you. Need to learn how to count from 1 - 10 from now onwards. If the person still has not stopped blabbing at 11, I guess I'll just have to pick up the nearest sharp object & silence him forever.

Anonymous #2: Hmm... I'm wondering too. 3? 4? 5?
