The uncontrolled anger

avatar

Greetings!

The individual differences of people in this life are something that we humans ourselves have no power to control as no one is perfect.

But notwithstanding, the way some people behave is so bad that you would even doubt they're human. Some people are just so wicked that all they know how to do is to take others for granted. Aside from that, some are out there just to manipulate and cheat others. So, I've personally come across many people and I can say that, people are not the same.

As someone who usually doesn't get angry, I didn't know how to control myself when I felt wrongly accused by a friend recently. My friend's name is John.

John was my childhood friend, as we had both lived in the same neighborhood since we were young. Aside from this, I and John went to the same primary school and I remembered being told by our parents that I and John were born on the same day. His family and mine are close and we're like twins in every aspect of our dealings.

But as time went on, John started to change his behavior after he began associating with some bad elements in our class. I told John to stop associating with them, but he wouldn't listen.

Before we know it, John started misbehaving by joining them to cause mayhem in the school and one day he was caught playing a betting game by the school principal and during the process, he was asked to mention those who were part of his group. When John was asked to name those involved, my name was the first one he mentioned.

Although I wasn't there, the person sent to call me told me everything that had happened in the principal's office before she came to get me.

So, when I got to the principal's office, I was asked a few questions about what I knew about betting. I told the principal that I knew nothing about it and that I had been wrongly accused by John, but before I could finish speaking, John interrupted me which made me angry and I shouted at him in anger in the presence of the principal and afterwards bursted to tears.

It's so painful, and I felt ashamed of myself for not being able to control my anger, even in the presence of the school authority.

Furthermore, when the principal saw me crying, he called John and me to his office and asked John if it's true, but John later confessed it's a lie and it's then he asked John to beg me and not to repeat such again and that's how what would have caused family enmity was settled by the principal.

In conclusion, we both appreciated the principal and John later promised to take a new leave and since then, he has changed from his bad ways.

This is my entry to the Hiveghana weekly prompt.

Thanks for reading.
