One big problem we face is…
ANGER.
At the very least provocation…
We fly off the handle…
The result…SORROW…DISCORD.

Anger is a state of the mind.
It expresses
as irritability…
as full blown explosive dramatics.
To stay calm in every situation…
we need to examine the very
genesis of Anger.

Anger arises from attachment.
From attachments rise expectations
Non-fulfilment of desires causes disappointment
Failure to manage disappointment
The obstacle to our ambition
becomes a target for…. ANGER!

Relationships ⇒ Expectations ⇒ Insistence ⇒ ANGER!

To develop harmonious relationships
we need freedom from:

EXPECTATION…INSISTENCE

Expectation takes benign forms like:
Desire…Ambition
Insistence is fuelled by:

Ego…Obsessive control…                                                                                            Resistance Both result in… ANGER!!

BEWARE!
Temper is compulsive and fuelled by pride.
Pride prevents us from admitting mistakes.
We have a choice: keep ANGER or keep PEACE
No prizes for guessing…the choice is choice…less!

Anger has its consequences:
Agitation…Loss of peace…Failure of health…
Exhaustion…Ruination
The angry man thus dies continuously…
causing losses all around.
The lesson to learn is:
Don’t regret and repent…

Instead practice restraint.
Stay AWARE, not ANGRY!!!
