Angry People Attack Doors! Why?- (1279)

Introduction

Have you observed that, when someone gets angry it is usually the doors of the house that suffer. A heated argument is usually accompanied by the sound of some or another door slamming, whether it be a bedroom door, a car door, a pantry door, a cupboard door or the door to our common sense. Some door gets slammed shut! Even the door to our heart, which is the worse door to ever slam shut.

Why the Poor Doors?

Anger can be in practice defined as force used to remove an obstacle. In the mind of many, doors are an obstacle. When we can’t do something we say: “the door to this or that is closed”, even physically when we want to enter a building or a room, all that ever usually stops us is a door. So it is quite common that we launch our anger against doors, it is something registered in our subconscious that doors equal obstacles.

When getting angry just as an experiment, try to imagine your favourite small bird. Imagine it in your hand as delicate
and beautiful as it is. See what happens within your human machine. Cardinals are quite remarkable, such a beautiful red. 

When this point sinks in deeply we can leave all the doors in the house in peace, because they only represent an obstacle, they are not the obstacle really. If a door is physically an obstacle, they are still not the obstacle, the obstacle is it is that we misplaced the key or that we are not welcome because we did something that was wrong

I’ve broken one door in my life, about 8 years ago. It took 5 seconds to break, but 2160 times (3 hours) more to repair and another 2160 times more (another 3 hours) to earn the money to buy a new one plus paint and other various bits and pieces. It certainly was not worth it on any level. It also took a long time to win back the trust of the poor other person behind that closed door.

A Curious Observation

A curious observation is that inwardly angry people lock themselves in behind doors, while outwardly angry people break down doors. Is it that inwardly angry people create obstacles for themselves...? After all they are angry at themselves, because it is the themselves that create the obstacles.
