Link to our past, bridge to our future

In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future.

April is the time of the year again when we sit down for dinner as a family to celebrate my 2 sons' birthdays,
born 3 years and 3 days apart in April  

Why some people are hot tempered?

I did a quick search.  Some of the reasons why some people are hot tempered?

They are insecure

Sometimes a person loses his temper when he gets others totally wrong. People who are insecure usually believe that others are making fun of them or disrespecting them. Such a way of thinking can make a person lose his temper very often.

Their anger gauge is already full

People who have some unsolved problems that make them angry are very likely to lose their temper faster. The accumulation of such problems results in making the person's anger gauge almost full that he explodes as soon as anything happens.

           They are impatient

Impatience can contribute to short temper. A person who is very impatient is very likely to lose his temper fast compared to a patient person.

They are dissatisfied with their lives

People who are dissatisfied with their lives are more likely to lose their temper fast. The fact that those people are unhappy yet don't have control over their lives motivates them to release some of the frustration they are experiencing through anger. 

What is the best way to deal with some one like that?  I am still trying to figure it out.   In the meantime I'll just try to avoid them?

Like the flower, the past cannot be trapped that way

“Like a flower pressed flat and dried, we try to hold it still and say, this is exactly how it was the day I first saw it. But like the flower, the past cannot be trapped that way. It loses its fragrance and and its vitality, its fragility becomes brittleness and its colors fade. And when next you look on the flower, you know that it is not at all what you sought to capture, that that moment has fled forever.”
― Robin Hobb, Fool's Errand

A bond that diminishes never

At a roadside restaurant in the rural outback with sis WL and brother TH.
3 bowls of noodles and 4 glasses cold drinks  only cost us RM 16.  The noodles were pretty good too.
