Reacting in Anger

Emotions are somehow strong and tricky. When emotions are involved, we tend to make discussions that may or may not be logical. Especially when anger or happiness is involved. That is why people advise that decisions should not be made based on these emotions to avoid regretting after a while.

One scenario which I remember was when I called a friend because I needed urgent help from him. He didn't pick but then because of my desperation I called several times but still he did not pick.

I had to find a way to navigate the situation and it was something very difficult but would have been too easy with my friend.
I was very angry with him and began to avoid him especially since he did not respond to the calls or explain what happened.

By the time he came to explain the next day, I was still not in a good mood and didn't pay attention to his explanations.

Subsequently the friendship died but I knew that something was missing because apart from that circumstance, he has been a good friend to me.

I tried retracing my steps and rekindling the friendship but then getting it back to 100% was a big ask and I was content with rebuilding gradually.

I learnt from the experience about reacting while angry and how it can ruin good stuff.
Good friendships should be sought out and maintained because what's life without a good friend.
Also as humans, no one is perfect and judging people by our own metric may backfire. I took offense at the time because I don't miss calls and even when I do, I call back immediately I see the missed call.
But that's just me, and I should not hold everyone to my standards, we are different individuals with our own peculiarities.
