Spoke to a 25 years old gentleman or young man. He was so peaceful! He was managing a team of 30 people and had own business. I asked him if he ever feel stressed or any worker pushes him to his limit?
He smiled and said that, I have realized, anger is never a solution! I used to get very angry on every small thing. I used to break things. I would raise my voice so much that the person would shake in front of me. People did not want to work with me. I knew what I was doing wrong. I felt I had some mental health problems. In fact, I was about to go on medicines to control anger. But then, I realized I am trying to control others and I have no control over myself. So I was shouting at someone and the person was very peaceful. The person had no fear or anger on his face. His face was very peaceful. I could not stay angry. Then I was quiet. I was not peaceful but quiet. So he spoke and said what he wanted. I could not fight back. I had to what he asked for. With great peace and love he spoke his point and it was heard better than spoken with anger. Then I realized this is the solution. I took a lot of practice. But I started learning and it started working. Then I realized it’s so easy to fight anger but we can never fight love. The person who is full of love and peace, how will you fight him, until he becomes angry too. I cannot control others anger, but I can control my peace.
So much to learn from everyone. SO much to practice everyday. Practice peace in your mind. Practice peace in your life. When you think in your mind, think about solving the situation with peace and love. Do not solve them with anger in your mind.
