A reader of my June 28th blog, Cortisol Shuts Down Your Ability to Communicate” commented,
“... as I drove to work yesterday I pondered that if I had been cut off by another driver, and resisted the urge to respond in a tirade of insults and fist shaking, what had I done? Had I controlled my anger or had I suppressed my aggression? If I had controlled my anger, had I actually achieved biological mastery of my physiological response to external stimuli? If I had suppressed my aggression, had I actually hidden my natural response to this external stimulus, and thereby allowed my natural aggressive reaction to grow and fester within me? What now of cortisol? How do we master our natural "fight or flight" response? After a particularly stressful day at work yesterday, I am sure that I had an unusually high secretion of cortisol this morning. Redirecting my intellect to more useful purposes...such as this blog, helps tremendously. That is what I think.”
