Envy, Anger and Annoyance...

[Skxawng]

...Has anyone else found that these emotions are less potent since the experience of P.A.D.?

I have, and If I ever start feeling annoyed or angry I come out of it very quickly now. It's a good thing but it all stems back to Avatar ^_^

I agree, I am able to come out of those emotions much more quickly. However, there are a few people on other forums I am on that envoke envy and anger in one, and just anger from stupididty from the other. LOL

Edit: and I am a nice guy, its pretty hard to get on my bad side or really piss me off

I really don't think that this happens to me as well, but I can say one thing for sure: Avatar made me more aware of "the others", I mean someone that looks and/or behaves differently than me. If you learn to respect the others they will respect you as well, and you will feel more at peace with everything around you. Obviously this has to be a mutual relationship, but it has to start somewhere.

This is one of the things that this wonderful movie taught me.

Anger most of all : I realised what are we becoming, that's our future. I can see the greed of some people who are living nowadays, people who'll kill, destroy, anything to get some money

I have as well, although it's still hard when I'm driving. I'm not a happy driver all the time lol

This, drivers are stupid! I can imagine even more so when on a bike and they seem oblivious to the fact that you are on the road with them! LOL

I used to get angry quite often, I don't anymore. This is good, very good only.

While I drive, I started saying "Kä, vrrtep!" to everyone who doesn't move when he (or she) has to do that

I definitely agree on the anger part of it. I used to get mad at a lot of little things. Now, I start to feel it come on, but it's really easy to just let it go. I had PAD in a severe way for a couple of weeks. I'm not sure exactly how the two are related, but they clearly are.

I agree , somehow I try to filter out more of the positive things in my life , I'm not anymore the irritable little devil as I was some time before , feels alot better ^__^

Totally! I used to be pissed off about everything, but I'm not anymore.. it is kind of disturbing if you think about it. How did all my hatred fly out the window? How do I not miss it? Just because! Party at my place! Bring Reese Peanut butter, I'm running low..

I think of PAD as a manifestation of existential depression. Based on the ages of people here I spent a good part of an entire lifetime in that state many years ago. When you come out of it you grow immensely. It is a big step up the ladder of enlightenment. You become much more secure and your old insecurities tend to be lessened. At this better place you can have better control over your negative emotions.

At least that's how it worked for me. I hope the same happens to others.

Oh yea I still get pissed off and annoyed, just not like I would in my old life. These days I prefer to help others up that ladder.

Envy is still the same as always, it's just directed at Jake now
As for anger and annoyance, I still reach them as easily, but they probably aren't as bad as they used to be.

I have too.

My PAD was full of disappointment in humanity, but it made me realize, that just because we're going towards our own destruction it doesn't mean I should not enjoy, and let everyone else enjoy the beautiful life we have.
