UP AND AWARE - 8

Most people have inner conflicts every day and many times in a day. An internal conflict
can make a person feel frustrated, irritated or upset and sometimes people take that out on

others, who do not know about the person’s inner conflict. For example, Meera wants to go
for a film with her friends but also knows that she needs to study for a test. She goes home
and finds her younger sister using her colour pencils to make a drawing. She yells at her
sister who starts crying without comprehending why Meera is angry when she had already
asked for permission to use her colour pencils.

Do you remember a time when you got angry, upset or irritated with someone because you
had an inner conflict? Write about it.
