Breaking Points

Somewhere in time, we reach our breaking point. These breaking points are the limits where we feel the need to take action after dealing with something. What happens when one's breaking point is reached? It depends. For example, someone used to taking insults may decide to get violent and aggressive towards his/her insultors. Some other person may break down and cry after so many people say so many bad things about himself/herself. There may be times even when breaking points actually ENCOURAGE people rather than perform some kind of action that can lead to trouble or punishment. No matter what, breaking points resemble any number of limits people have.

There are certain tolerance levels people have which make them feel either weak inside or want to exact violence or harm to life and/or property. This is where having certain breaking points can be potentially dangerous. We begin to do things we otherwise wouldn't do. Imagine if a sibling can't stand his/her parent(s) and feels like wanting to hurt his/her parent(s). Imagine a certain friend among a circle of friends who constantly feels disrespected and may threaten to go on a rage against someone or look to incite violence. In these cases, it is healthy to release your deepest emotions; however, the consequences and repercussions of your actions could be entirely damaging to you and your relationships with others.

Sometimes, reaching breaking points can trigger a call to action to make a change for the better. For example, a victim of domestic violence could reach a breaking point to where he/she will want to do something in the light of breaking up or divorce (in the case of married individuals). One can withstand only so much abuse and so much disappointment that one reaches a certain breaking point to call for change. It is as if you can push someone only so far until they decide to want to do something about it.

So how do you deal with breaking points? Realize that reaching a breaking point is very natural. It is okay to come to a point where you want change in your life after constant disappointment or the feeling of nothing getting done. Breaking points should never reach the point of inflicting violence, but reaching breaking points that may potentially lead to violence is just as natural. If you reach your breaking point, try to control your anger and emotions as best as you can. You want to be able to express your breaking point in a healthy way. If you feel your breaking point reaches the point of inflicting violence, try to control yourself to where you don't end up doing something you are going to regret for the near future or for the rest of your life. Your ability to handle reaching your breaking point and how you are able to let your stronger self emerge can make the difference in handling breaking points properly.





That is, at least, what I think about breaking points. What say you?

How do you handle reaching your breaking point? What would you suggest to others in the same sort of situation?
