Aphorism #4

“When you are utterly frustrated or angry, express these feelings. You don’t have to be nice all the time just most of the time.”

We are taught to be nice to people even though we are mad or angry. I guess this is so common in the Chinese culture. Sometimes I am so angry, but I still wear a smile to the person I am angry at. However, in fact, we do not have to be so nice all the time. Once a while, we should express what we really think and just behave like it. There is nothing wrong with it. I think this way is healthier to our body.

On the other hand, when we express our negative emotion, we should keep in mind that we do not mean to hurt anyone. We just show what the current state in our mind, not trying to harm anything or cause damage to our friendships and other relationships to different people.
So, when we are angry, once a while we don't have to keep it, we can express it on our face. We express it but don't mean to hurt people. We can shout out loudly, or hit something, just don't hurt other people or ourselves.
