How do you react when things don't go your way? I usually just get mad. I may act and pretend I'm fine with how things worked out, but inside I'm at least a little bitter. I have a way that I'd like things to go because I think it's the best way for things to go. If I didn't think it was best, I wouldn't be doing it, right?
I heard once that anger is the result of our will being blocked.
That has always stuck with me and I think it's so incredibly true. I get mad and frustrated when my sons don't help me get them dressed in the morning. Am I mad at the potential nudity if the situation goes unresolved? Am I frustrated that the boys will be too cold because they aren't properly dressed?
Nope.
I'm mad and frustrated because I have written a story in my head that needs to be followed (it isn't normally very flexible) and my boys aren't allowing that story to become reality with their wiggling, running, playing and avoidance.
This message is about a story where one group hears information that shakes up their worldview and they riot where another group hears the same information and they investigate these new claims. Both groups are hearing a new ending to the story they had written in their heads. Their wills for the future are being blocked by new information. How do you respond to new information?
