Let It Cool Off, Contributed By @Olawalium
A lot of wrong words have been spoken in the heat
Words are like eggs; impossible to make whole when smashed
When you are angry, count from 1 to 10 they say
But when you are very angry, count from 1 to 100
Anger indeed rests in the bosom of a fool
Be gentle when you try to wield that sword to hurt
When you are on the edge and feel like boiling over
Turn off the steam and let it cool off for a while
A word spoken in haste is often regretted in the end
Never try to be like others by trying to blend
Be guided with your word and where it sends
Learn to let it cool off, really; because it doesn’t worth it
Learn to control how you feel, dear friends
Don’t let your feelings control you all the times
Our emotions get the better of us sometimes, I admit
But we can learn to do things better every single time
When we learn to pause, be still and cool it off
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn’t bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.

Many good things got damaged as a result of few minutes anger. Many promising relationship ended due to the same problem.
Anger is like a fire in a dry field which can only be controlled before it started, once started, it grow out of control.
Perfect illustration. Imagine a dry field being set ablaze; the fire would spread all over. The same thing with anger because the anger you didn't contain will spread all over to every aspect of your life.
Good one, brother. I enjoyed this.
I really miss all these your write ups sir.
letting it cool indeed. this post sure should form a part of our habits just as safety should. it guides us to shunning violence through avoidance of wrong choices of word in the "Heat "
Words wee speak are like thr attitude of a drunken Man.
A story says of the Cock n the woman. The woman was hell bent on making her point at a time of quarrel n the Cock made efforts to calm her down but she wouldn't bulge until she eventually said a terrible word and she was fined a male Cock, same fine the cock was trying to prevent the elders from demanding. Let it Cool!
thanks for sharing
I am glad you enjoyed this as well and I am happy to have you here as well. I always enjoy your valuable comments and illustrations.
Yes, we need to let it form a part and parcel of our daily lives. We need to remind ourselves that when fiery situations happen, we should try and cool it off. We only know what starts the anger, we never know what might be the end result of it but the end of it is never nice.
Thanks a lot, brother.
My dear @olawalium ,
Its true that in anger we lose control on our mind and mouth. We keep throwing words even that make us feel shame on later.
We should always be cool and gentle.
We should avoide from abusive language as well so that we do not have to regret later.

We should try and avoid it, that is the truth. There are words we have spoken in anger that we wish we never did. Words cannot be retracted when we have spoken them, which is why we need to choose our words carefully, especially when we are angry.
Thanks a lot, my friend. Good to have you here.
Anger doesn't resolve issues it only makes it worsen. No good things could be achieved with stiff head. We really need to learn how to control our emotions when dealing with people even if they offend us. We should learn how to let go and make matter rest without too much talk. We are all human beings and there's no way we won't get angry when we were being wrong but we should always take things easy and learn to forgive. Or why holding grudges when we know we are still going to reconcile with the person in question.
We should always be careful of anger as it is one letter away from danger

Absolutely. Anger is just one word short of danger. It is like a ticking time bomb that needs to be arrested before it explodes.
