Anger

“Anger doesn’t solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.” Lawrence Douglas Wilder.

This is sooo true. Anger only creates bitterness, resentment and, consequently, no desire to collaborate. The angry person puts themselves in a position of dominance and judges the other person with cruelty of one sort or the other. At least it’s perceived as cruelty.

In my opinion, the best thing to do is to find the correct techniques to attain your objective, which is most likely social in this case, maybe by means of some research and some trial and error. Then you can apply them, trying to be calm at all times, since peace inspires a good response by the other side. Nobody wants someone else to act as a parent who is constantly telling them off.
