    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 20, 2009

    Why is it that some situations cause us to lose our tempers? Why do we sometimes lose all sense of reason and just get angry all over?

Even when we read something or hear something and alter our behavior, it is because we choose to believe that thing we read or ...read more
