Long fuse Short fuse Which one are you?

Are you a Hot babe? a Cool banana? or are you simply Lukewarm plain water??

If given a choice, which one would you rather be?

Just look at the people around you. How are their temperaments like? Do you agree that it can be infectious and your environment does have the power to influence how you behave and react?

Yes, I know some saint ones have the will power to be in control of their behaviour and temperaments.

Always focus in the NOW, they say.
Be AWARE of your thoughts.
Breathe and count to 10 before you take any action.
Focus on the Other person, and
Always give people the Benefit of Doubt etc.

Yes, easier said than done BUT it's not unachievable.

We do see and hear of the irreversible damage how some short fused have created and how we wish they had never happened to anyone.

Like the story that has gone somewhat viral in the social media on this 4yr old boy who scratched his father's car with some stone he picked up on the floor while his father was polishing the car.

The father got so angry that he grabbed his son's hand and hit it many times without realising that he was hitting the boy with a wrench. The child's fingers were broken and permanently lost.

In the hospital, the child asked his father with painful eyes, when would his fingers grow back.

Devastated and speechless, the father went back and sat in front of his car. Then he realized what his son had actually done. He scratched  "LOVE YOU DAD"!

Some versions ended the story with the father committed suicide.

Honestly I don't know if he did and if the story was real. But to give it the benefit of doubt and assuming it's real, it's an outcome that can be avoided.

Many people have successfully overcome their short fuse temperament by becoming more AWARE of their emotions and LETTING GO of their EGO and 'small self' and move on to becoming a happier person.

If we learn to be more PATIENT each day and take things lightly, make conscious efforts to NOT ATTACHING to our worldly goods, we feel lighter.

As it has often been said, "We come with nothing, we go with nothing."

Take things easy. The world will be a better place to live.

The world, your world, is WITHIN YOU!

And you have the ABSOLUTE POWER to change the world!
