WHAT ANGER DOES.
Someone sent me a message about anger and I wish to share it with everyone.There was a young boy who had problem with anger. Each time he gets annoyed, he nearly became insane.He did all sorts of things like yelling, screaming, throwing things etc.His father wanted to teach him the effects of anger and he gave him a bag of nails.He told him each time he gets angry he should hammer a nail on the wall.So the boy hammered a nail each time he got angry.After some days,he went to his father and told him he has been able to manage his anger.Then his father told him to remove the nails fron the wall.He painfully removed it but the holes made by the nails were still there.Then his father told him "that's it.Once a word is uttered when anger, it can't be retrieved.Even if you say I am sorry,I will not do that again,the damage has been done".Moral: Anger is a temporary insanity.Nothing positive can be done when angry and nothing productive can come out of anger. Anger makes you do something permanently stupid because you are temporarily upset. Everybody gets angry including me. But its how we manage and control it. When you allow people to get you angry it means you are controlled and not in control. And as they say sometimes people will throw stones at you. Its you that will determine what to do with it. You can either use it as a stepping stone or let it hit you and fall. Its your choice. I have learnt that anger can be controlled and managed. How it can be will be discussed on Friday. Till then, let stones (anger) be a stepping stone for you.
