寧靜的心跡 (18) 化憤怒為創造


當感到憤怒,我們往往會失去平靜和理智,也可能無法控制自己的情緒,對自己、身邊的人或事物都有潛在的危害。但是,如果學會把這種破壞力轉化為創造力,我們就能從憤怒中得到啟發和進步。

容易發怒的原因,通常是無法正確運用生命的能量。最大的問題在於我們被情緒所控制,把正在憤怒的那個自我當成真正的自己。若能認清情緒不能定義真正的自己,問題就被大幅縮小,我們也能客觀地處理憤怒。

無法壓抑生命的能量,我們只能去疏導。不需要把憤怒看成非常嚴重問題,只要不再關注它,它自然就會消退。然而,如果能把憤怒轉化為創造力,投入到喜歡的事情中,我們就能有更多創作。例如寫一首歌,並在歌詞中表達憤怒。

專注於做事,再回頭看那件使我們憤怒的事情,感覺已經很不同,即使大事也能看成是小事。能夠在喜歡的事情上盡情享受,我們已無暇顧及那些小事了。同樣地,在憤怒過去一段時間之後,我們就會發現那些小事的意義。

化憤怒為創造,會為生活帶來巨大的轉變。既然無法與憤怒對抗,那就改為接受它,把它的能量用於創造一個更好的自己。因此,我們可以經常回顧過去的憤怒,尋找它的根源,並思考它會帶我們往何處。若能從憤怒中發現自己的優點和缺點,那麼憤怒就能提高我們的意識。

接受生命帶來的一切,並非意味著被動與無奈。憤怒是生命的一部份,也是成長必須經歷的事物。只要能夠了解和運用,我們不但能處理好自己的情緒,還能從中獲得更多的滋養。

能夠憤怒,表示我們對事物的感覺並不麻木,也希望表達自己內心的感受。因此,我們可以把自己的感受和觀點,用語言文字這個巧妙的工具,有條理地表達出來,讓別人能夠理解,也更容易與我們互動。

嘗試冷靜下來,讓自己回到能夠思考的狀態,這是必要的基礎。這可能需要多些練習和增加自控能力,但如果能夠克服這個困難,在下次感到憤怒時,我們就能開始轉化這種負面情緒。

The path to Tranquility (18)
Transforming anger into creativity


When we feel angry, we often lose our calmness and rationality, and may not be able to control our emotions, which is potentially harmful to ourselves and the people or things around us. But if we learn to channel this destructive force into creativity, we can be inspired and progress from our anger.

The reason for being easily angry is usually that we cannot correctly use the energy of life. The biggest problem is that we are controlled by our emotions and mistake our angry self for our true self. If we can recognize that emotions cannot define the real self, the problem will be greatly reduced, and we can objectively deal with anger.

We cannot suppress the energy of life, we can only channel it. There is no need to regard anger as a very serious problem, as long as we no longer pay attention to it, it will naturally recede. However, if we can transform anger into creativity and put it into things we like, we can have more creations. For example, write a song, and express the anger in the lyrics.

Focus on doing things, look back at the things that make us angry, the feeling is very different, even big things can be seen as small things. Being able to enjoy ourselves in things we like, we have no time to take care of those little things. Likewise, after a period of anger has passed, we will find the meaning of those little things.

Transforming anger into creation will bring about a huge change in life. Since we cannot fight against anger, let's accept it and use its energy to create a better self. Therefore, we can often review the past anger, find its root cause, and think about where it will take us. If we can discover our strengths and weaknesses from anger, then anger can enhance our consciousness.

Accepting everything life brings, does not mean being passive and having no choice. Anger is a part of life and something that must be experienced in growth. As long as we can understand and use it, we can not only handle our emotions well but also gain more nourishment from it.

Being able to be angry means that our feelings for things are not numb and want to express our inner feelings. Therefore, we can use the ingenious tool of language to express our feelings and opinions in an organized way so that others can understand them and make it easier for them to interact with us.

Try to calm down and let ourselves return to a state where we can think. This is a necessary foundation. This may require more practice and increased self-control ability, but if we can overcome this difficulty, when we feel angry next time, we can start transforming this negative emotion.
