Hi Friends,
Welcome to MoneyWell's blog page
i am regularly following Anbusivam's blog, in that recently he has written about Anger Management. Anger is one of the powerful emotions we can feel. Most of the time Anger is depicted as a crime. The very reasons can be, outcome of the anger is always scathe.
What a person do out of anger
1. can damage whom we were angry with.
2. can damage that person who got angry.
3. can damage the family and relatives of that person.
Here i cannot ignore to quote the works of Thiruvalluvar. (Thiruvalluvar (Tamil: திருவள்ளுவர்) was a celebrated Tamil poet who wrote the Thirukkural, a work on ethics in Tamil literature. )
He has written a Athikaram ( 10 couplets ) on Restraining Anger. i would like to quote some of it.
306. Friend-killer is the fatal rage
It burns the helpful kinship-barge
In this couplet, he characterizes anger as a disease which kills whoever has it and also kills whoever affined to the person who has the anger.
304. Is there a foe like harmful ire
which kills the smile and joyful cheer
This narrates very first practical experience of anger. We cannot smile with joyful cheer whenwe are angry at something or some one. So anger kills both. In this couplet anger is characterized as the biggest enemy to the mankind, because it kills the bliss ful smile and joyful cheer.
By quoting Thiruvalluvar i can bring out the points for benefits of not getting angry and personnel casualty of getting angry. One more quote with which i would like to conclude on anger and how to handle it, that is Aristotle's (One of the greatest of the ancient Athenian philosophers; pupil of Plato; teacher of Alexander the Great (384-322 BC) )
“Anybody can become angry, that is easy; but to be angry with the right person, and to the right degree, and at the right time, and for the right purpose, and in the right way, that is not within everybody's power, that is not easy.”
When i read it for the first time, i was admired by the discipline he demands for getting angry. He is not stating anything good or bad about anger. But in the deep sense he brings out the imbalance one would have to experience when they are angry.
When one gets angry, if he is able to think about, whether it is right degree, right time, right purpose and the right way to show it. Then he/she is thinking about the feeling ( the anger) he/she has. By doing so one can reduce the magnitude of anger they are going to get, by that one can save lot of his/her energy, avoid lot of health problems and other damages.
