Benign, Raging- Temper

Taurus: The Benign Bull
Contrary to the image of the Bull depicted in the descriptive phrase "mad as a bull", the Bull is basically a peaceful creature who only charges at the toreador or bucks off the bronco-buster because he has been tormented beyond the breaking point before the spectacle starts. The same Brahma Bull that is the terror of the rodeo circuit in North America is the gentle creature that roams freely and peacefully in the streets of Calcutta, where no one provokes him to change his normally placid nature. And don't forget the powerful but placid ox which pulls the heavy plough, or the domesticated, docile cow which donates her calf's milk to feed human babies.

Taurus: The Raging Bull
Now remember, you can't push a Bull - but you can lead him gently by the ring in his nose, or coax him with tasty food or the sight of a sexy heifer in heat. If you leave him in peace, he will leave you in peace. If you push him, he will quietly endure more than most; but if you push him beyond his level of tolerance and ignore the warning snorts and stampings, you will suddenly be facing "a raging bull" whose aroused anger and animal instinct of "flight or fight" could drive him to destroy something he sees as the source of his torment. Or if that source is simply not in sight, a substitute may serve as sacrificial victim. You really won't want to stay around to offer yourself as that sacrificial subsitute...

The Taurus Temper
In the typical Taurus temper tantrum, it is usually just a table being thumped or a handy thing being thrown; but a rare Richter-scale rage could result in the destruction of something valuable or valued - even something the Taurus type worked hard to create, like a personal project or a romantic relationship. But it would be best to retreat until that bottled-up anger blows over - especially if you are the source of the Bull's torment, or happened to be the hapless innocent to "break the last straw" before the bedevilled Bull's blow-up was triggered. Some people think the Taurus is too "predictable"; but in this case I think they could really appreciate knowing what is about to happen - in time to avoid it! At least the Taurus gives you fair warning, if you pay attention to the snorting and stomping, the flaring nostrils, or the glowering gaze.

"the flaring nostrils, or the glowering gaze" too funny, too true, now i believe my sister lol

"Now remember, you can't push a Bull - but you can lead him gently by the ring in his nose, or coax him with tasty food..." haha almost true.

Have you seen the "Raging Bull" movie?

I think you can see me steaming when I am about to blow too, I just assume people notice it, and when they act shocked, I am more shocked.

"but a rare Richter-scale rage could result in the destruction of something valuable or valued - even something the Taurus type worked hard to create, like a personal project or a romantic relationship."

What kind of idiotic thought could lead a person to damage themselves/their belongings? Pretty much a good proof for my classification of retarded personalities.

You tell him, sag! Haffo, I haven't been around long enough to know if you're prone to insulting other signs, but that was rude! Has a Taurus hurt you in your lifetime?

I think the post meant that we'll destroy things of value if those things are indeed what angers us, or if they are connected to the person who makes us mad. For example - I keyed my ex's car once when he made me very angry. Trust me, though, he deserved it.

OMG, you keyed your ex's car?!!! WOW, that takes guts, I've only fantasized about that!

Let's face it guys, Haff is inlove with us, he just can't leave. hehe, maybe it's that Biff tag. 😉

Who the hell you are to damage things that belong to others? And what kind of idiotic personality could a person has to damage things that belong to himself? If a person cannot control his anger (and the flip side question of that is why this person is so mad at all, cant contain himself/herself to stay away from anger?) then this person has problems. Serious problems. Trust me on that.

Oh wow...Beware the Temper of the Bulls! haha

Oh, please, haffo... what do you do when you're at your angriest? Plant flowers? If you found out your significant other of almost 3 years had been cheating on you, would you start tap dancing? Cut the crap, you're not fooling anybody.

"Oh, please, haffo... what do you do when you're at your angriest? Plant flowers? If you found out your significant other of almost 3 years had been cheating on you, would you start tap dancing? Cut the crap, you're not fooling anybody."

Exactly. It is me who in charge of what I do not others. I always keep that in my mind.

"Oh, please, haffo... what do you do when you're at your angriest?"

There is no rule about I should be acting like others.

hahaha, "There is no rule about I should be acting like others." -is this what you repeat to yourself before you go to bed? awwwwwwwww, you go girl! 😉

"Who the hell you are to damage things that belong to others? And what kind of idiotic personality could a person has to damage things that belong to himself?

Haffo, don't even attempt to understand it because you won't, and you can't judge what you don't understand.
You can't understand rage if you've never felt it. As a matter of fact if we get to this stage it is because we have contained enough, tried to reason enough and so forth. If a bull has ever gone mad you can be a hundred percent sure that the fault is with the other person! It's something that very raaareeeely happens, I bet you can count the incidences in a lifetime with both hands unless it's a bull with a bad temper!
The times I've blown I've felt sooooo horrible, soo guilty but only for my stuff rather than the people involved 😛 Pretty big things too. And then there was my hand that looked purple and double its size one time. It was useless for months but I never went to the doctor because I didn't want them to ask me how it got that way and why... Feels much better though 😛 Who needs doctors psssh lol

I do not need to understand mechanisms of idiotic behaviours. Just because people have temper, that dont give them right to do whatever they want. People who get in rage and kill someone (pretty same as damaging things) still goes to jail. So, that means for me "an idiotic personality".

"If a bull has ever gone mad you can be a hundred percent sure that the fault is with the other person!"

WTF is that? A person goes to rage and someone else is guilty for that? LOL! Whenever you rage, be it by someone else I dont care, IT IS YOU WHO RAGE after all. Therefore, it is your responsibility. No way to look for reasoning things like that on someone else.

He's like our toy! hehe

You know little boy you really should stop mumbling because I can't hear a word that you're saying 🙂

-Charlie

YaY a reaction from Haffo!

"People who get in rage and kill someone (pretty same as damaging things) still goes to jail"

Yes, yes that is terrible... please don't make me kill you.

Noooo Charlie from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' Lol

"Therefore, it is your responsibility. No way to look for reasoning things like that on someone else"

Who said we don't accept responsability? I was only saying that the other person probably did enough to piss us off, some people just think they're so bad thinking you'll take their butter, sometimes they just want to piss you off you know... and BAMMM there you go mothafukr!

But I'm glad you brought that up because... you're right they should take the responsability... they should know better than waving red at a bull... idiots

You know little boy you really should stop mumbling because I can't hear a word that you're saying 🙂

-Willy Wonka

Yes that's what I said Sag... Willy 😛

"I do not need to understand mechanisms of idiotic behaviours"

Oh but you should. After all we do live in a world where 90% of the population could be labeled 'idiots'
Hey what's that on your forehead Haff?

F anger management. What's the point of managing something that only hurts other people and amuses myself! hehe

Oh TC, that was SUCH a funny part of the movie. He's such an A $ $ . Wonka must've been a taurus, so freaking blunt.

"Who said we don't accept responsability? I was only saying that the other person probably did enough to piss us off, some people just think they're so bad thinking you'll take their butter, sometimes they just want to piss you off you know... and BAMMM there you go mothafukr!"

Bye bye mofo, you are now in a prison. Why don't you try this in real world?

You can't go to prison for throwing a pencil at them eeesssh

The scenerio was like this: BAMM *throws pencil in your face* ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaah ha lol

And you, what do YOU do in the real world? Oh opps, you don't fukkin answer questions.

But I guess that even if that happened you'd pick up the pencil and hand it to whoever threw it at you huh? lol

" Yes, yes that is terrible... please don't make me kill you."

If you would be living in Turkey and telling this to me, you would be sitting in jail right now.

" Yes, yes that is terrible... please don't make me kill you."

If you would be living in Turkey and telling this to me, you would be sitting in jail right now.

Really? Very interesting

"You can't go to prison for throwing a pencil at them eeesssh"

So, you are throwing pensils on people when get mad? I thought you are something worth to talk with. Have fun.

So, you are throwing pensils on people when get mad?

Yes Haffo, yes, yes I do. You have fun too.

No but seriously... what do you do when bored?

I never get bored anymore. I always find something to do. I always create. I like skiing, swimming, playing PC games, hanging out with people, playing on PC, listening music, watching movies, reading books, hanggliding, walking, playing football, playing basketball, cycling, learning languages...

Thank You! Was it so hard to answer the question?! 😛

I think you made the false assumption that we all sit around bored with no lives or drive. I can't say I am often bored either, but it's that moment where I'm kinda like, hmmm what am I gonna do? The thing I do to AVOID boredom. Think deep, Haff, as you tell us, beyond the surface question.

People that are bored and boring all of the time, don't answer a question like this, because they haven't thought that far.

No. But I thought pointing out some idiocies would be more funny.

ahhhhh you're a comedian!

"No. But I thought pointing out some idiocies would be more funny."

It sure was! lol!

I mean we didn't get you but it was still funny ha ha ha

I think astrologers should reconsider their writings about Sun Sign. Pointing out a particular sign as some kind of outlaws is pretty dumb. You know, some people cannot see the difference and believe it which motivates them be outlaws.

LIVE standup by........HAFFO!!!!

OK, you go! Let's hear it! I'm ready to laugh.

"I mean we didn't get you but it was still funny ha ha ha"

Sometimes working on understanding people first then judging them works better and doesnt makes your time wasted. It also called being civilised FYI.

Bravo, bravo! Let's hear more! (clapping frantically)

Lol TG too funny!

"It also called being civilised"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! Don't talk to ME about being civilized!

"Sometimes working on understanding people first then judging them works better and doesnt makes your time wasted. It also called being civilised FYI"

Agreed, I'd really wish you did that Haff. It really is weird how people don't take their own advice... ? hah

I think that was one of his jokes, TC? hahahahahah i LOVE it! (cheers!)

I told you to dig harder which had a total different meaning to the topic. But all that you did is to insult me back. Who is not civilised here now?

"Pointing out a particular sign as some kind of outlaws is pretty dumb"

Never heard of a particular sign being described as an outlaw to tell you the truth

Who you talking to? Because I haven't insulted you.
