Anger Management

There's an article on how to complain without 'venting' on Yahoo. Mostly it has to do with dealing with problems that arise during travel, but when you think about it, it's probably a good idea to consider how you complain about anything in life. Most of it really is just frustrated venting that gets you nowhere. Well it may help you feel better a little, but it doesn't solve anything, and usually makes the person you are gripping at just dig in harder and ignore the real problem. Getting a hold of your own frustrations and pushing aside anger to look at the simple ingredients of the problem so you can lay them out in an un-emotional manner is the best way to sort through difficulties without it turning into a blow out, but how often does that happen? It's natural for our anger to be present over something we feel is done to us. It's difficult to push it aside. It was a really good article though and something I'm going to try to deal with in my own times when I need to handle a problem with someone else, and not just traveling.
