the duel of anger and love

words spoken out of anger do not die.  they are remembered.  harbored.  played over and over and over time and time again.  they are replayed immediately after they are spoken and they fuel the current fire.  they are taken off the memory shelf a few days later and turn a perfectly good mood sour in a matter of seconds.  they are relived weeks later and the patterns surrounding them are pondered.  they resurface months later and make true forgiveness almost impossible. 

words spoken out of love should be held as some of the most powerful words ever spoken.  yet often they are dismissed.  did he really mean it or was he just responding to what i said first?  does she really love me or will this pass like others have? 

true love is one of the most exquisite encounters one can have.  yet anger is the emotion with way more authority than it should have.  it seems to be the one emotion that is an absolute.  work instead to make love your absolute.  do not give anger power over you.
