There are times when we become extremely stressed out by life’s troubles and we find it hard to keep a good attitude. We lose our patience, we lose our cool and, in a matter of seconds, we find that we are screaming at the top of our lungs at our spouse, child, co-worker or the random driver on the road.
So what causes us to lose our cool? A variety of factors that are social/environmental and psychological. There may be things about our social environment that bother us… like the messy spouse who can never keep the place as tidy as you do, the child who is always throwing tantrums, the not so helpful co-worker, or the extremely inconsiderate driver on the road.
The truth is that we are human and being human makes us far from perfect, which means that inasmuch as people will do what we perceive to be dumb things, we will also react in a way that others might perceive as explosive.
