Truth & Love
*Psychological tests can measure the intensity of your anger and how prone you are to easily get upset and how well you handle it. By this time you already know that if you have anger issues and your actions become scary, you need to seek help in finding ways to resolve or totally remove that anger completely.*
Hmm! Thank God for this booknet.com app I could read it through the holobookapp. I am quite angry alright!, actually, jealous of Vicky. She took my childhood best friend and my first love away from me. She technically took everything, even, Marnie's parent's affection, and it's not okay to me, Dalia thought to herself crazy serious looking at her reflection in the mirror. I know Marnie just met that slut and I will never ever lose to her again.
*Jerry Deffenbacher, PhD (APA), who specializes in anger management says, 'there are people who are more hot headed than others'. They get more angry and get irritated easily than the average person does. They are people who have low tolerance for frustration and annoyance. These people are physically ill, chronically irritable, with the tendency to sulk and withdraw themselves socially. They get infuriated by frustrations and get angry when corrected in minor mistakes. They curse and get furious when things don't go according to plan.*
Dalia is a good girl and she has been very successful in her career as a manager. She was a consistent honor student from her elementary to her college years. The real reason she applied for the job at stables was because she is really in love with Marnie and wanted to see her again. She thought that if she ever get lucky she'll get the girl, scientist this time.
Unfortunately Vicky came into the picture and ruined her plans. Now, neither the girl nor her heart is available for me to take but stolen by another woman who is a stranger to me and even to Marnie's. Yet, everyone loves this soldier and now I couldn't even see my friend without that slut interfering. This is a hell of an issue for me, I don't like losing and I didn't take karate and boxing lessons for nothing, Dalia now talking to herself.
*People do it because of 3 factors, maybe genetic or psychological and/ socio-cultural. There are evidences that some children are more irritable, sensitive and easily angered. Anger is often regarded as negative and expressing anxiety or depression is bad so some of us don't know how to handle anger constructively. In research, family background also plays a large role, if they are chaotic, disorganized and unskilled psychologically on how to counter anger, It may lead to not being able to handle anger and resolve it permanently. – Credit to owner.

Dalia, Marnie and her friends lost touch when they all went to college. Marnie and Dalia remained best of friends until both graduated from universities. Dalia immediately got a job at Marnie's family's farm and Marnie became the newest but promising scientist at Harvard University. Dalia loved Marnie ever since they were kids, but Marnie thought it was just a phase and that Dalia would eventually forget about her when she had a boyfriend in college though she was with her. Both girls never made amends but Dalia knew she was in love with Marnie when Vicky who is beautiful, smart and confident appeared and now in between her and her love. Dalia didn't know what Marnie felt about Vicky not until the blonde hottie proposed to Marnie. Everything is turning into a nightmare for her and Dalia was left with no choice but to snatch her girl back, as soon as possible. But how?, Dalia thought while pouring herself a cup of coffee. Everyone is still asleep. When she heard that Marnie was with Vicky that morning, she immediately felt her blood rose to her head and wanted to shout out in anger. Good thing she was reading the book about anger that she was able to contain herself that day. She loves Marnie but as if she can't share her with others especially to Vicky. Marnie is only hers and hers alone to love and have a family with in future. However, if I truly love Marnie I would let her go and live her life of happiness with the one she truly loves and it is Vicky.
Saturday, the big day for Marnie and Ling. Their programs and projects are ready to be presented along with the teams and schools who is representing Japan, Korea, U.S. and U.K. All students were nervous but the judges of the science competition didn't consider the beauty or money put into the inventions but the passion and sincerity of the rising scientists at work. Marnie was the last to present her work entitled the Digital Mind featuring Re-Programming and introduced Vicky as her subject. Though a lot has changed since the soldier's dark and painful past, she emerged victorious and rose from the pile of dirt, the pit of darkness she lived in for decades. Until she found true love with Marnie her scientist and savior who gave her the love she needs and will be needing for the rest of her life.
The judges were very keen in choosing their champion but when Marnie's name was called as the first prize winner, every one including Dalia, Dr. Stevens, Ling, Devi. Mr. Prakash and Sam jumped for joy like they are the ones who won the prize themselves. Marnie couldn't believe it and stood on the podium to receive the award at the prestigious place in London. The guests were not more than a hundred but the place was big enough to occupy a basketball match. Marnie looked and felt like a winner not because she indeed won the first prize, a car and condominium unit and the scholarship to enter British Science Program with NASA, but becoming Vicky's partner in life. I thought I had everything I needed when I worked alone at Harvard laboratory with my ideas to change the world and make it better. I was wrong, when I learned to open my heart to love and accepted whatever that comes and goes with it are what is and not a coincidence. I realized that we meet people in our lives not because it's out of luck but fate or what the spiritual gurus call destiny.
Have you ever thought of waking up in a dream and all you wished came true in a blink of an eye? I did. I never thought falling in love with life, with another person and the world will give me this peace, happiness and passion to be good, do good and be a hero. A hero who never gives up and sees past the hardship. The heroine who moves forward and moves on with life in good faith, love, in beauty. We thought we can only see beauty in joy, riches or fame but the true splendor lies in darkness, mess and pain. Pain can cause madness or despair but it teaches strength, resilience and hope that there's always a tomorrow. That there is always goodness or much to look forward to in illness, suffering or misfortune. The pandemic has taught my grandparents to live courageously and in love in spite of the deaths, uncertainty and sadness. My parents at present live in a new world, an earth that exist only in dreams but is real in 3000, where grass is green, trees are healthy and flowers blooming, where animals are respected and cared for, where people live in peace, justice, equality, health , prosperity and love. Now, in this time and age, my love Vicky and I will live in a world new to us but no different than what my ancestors lived in. We all have pasts and some of them unpleasant and maybe cruel. But life is lived and love is love, in this year, I only live and hope for the best. I hope for all the best, happiness, good health and love in your life too. I love you!
What the future holds for you is up to you. I am not here to judge. You make your life and decide what's good or bad for you. Whatever your decision is what shapes it to reality. What truth would you want for you?. Peace!
