Self-control is one of the qualities a person must posess, but sometimes it is hard to still control yourself when you are being pushed to your limit. I have seen so many situations where people with self-control loosed it because they were pushed beyond what they can take, and I have also seen some people who never stop controlling themselves, even when they couldn't take it any longer, they just find a way to move away.
There was a time in my neighborhood when we experienced a quarrel between a couple, we just came outside and saw the wife hitting the husband very hard for reason we don't yet know, and the husband never reacted or pounced on the wife. We don't know what the man did, but people around kept on saying the man was weak because he stood there watching his wife throwing punch on him without doing nothing. Although it was strange but, all I could see from the man is self-control, which can be rarely seen in a today's world.
I have a male friend who said the girl he once dated was a kind of person who loves to be with an agressive man who hits him. But I know my friend is a gentle guy who doesn't wants to hit even a fly for no reason, so I knew the relationship won't last because the girl met the wrong person. The guy ended the relationship, because the girl was pushing him to the war everytime, she would purposely do that just to get a reaction but her plans never worked.
What is your self-control limit?

Self-control is a very important issue to talk about, because it has helped some and have also destroyed some. We have seen people argue that self-control should have a limit, and why some have also argued no matter what happens your self-control should never leave you at any moment.
Imagine a situation where a person close to you annoys you to a point you couldn't take it any longer, let's just say your brother mistakenly burnt the certificate you spent years in acquiring, or someone just broke the screen of your iPhone 14 you recently bought with your hard earned money, in this kind of situations can you still hold on to your self-control?.
I know it very hard to control yourself especially in difficult situation. If we were to measure self-control level we will not have the same level of self control, some people's level will be higher than the other.
Let me end by asking this question, what you do you think about self-control, should it have limit or be maintained no matter the situation?.
Thank you.
