Take pity on one who is angry; this is an opportunity.

[Guest guest]

" Someone may disagree with you and another may argue with you. Don't

react; try to be calm. Your calmness will disarm the other person. If

you have any complaints, come tell Mother about it, but do not get

angry; do not speak roughly or use harsh words. "

 

" If anger arises in you, do not express it immediately. Leave the

place. Go and sit somewhere by yourself. Contemplate and meditate.

You will find that the cause of your anger is not in the other person

but within you. It is not the other person that causes it, but your

past. The past is your reference book. Anger is within you. Someone

accidentally touches the anger in you, and you erupt. "

 

" Anger is like an infected wound. When somebody touches it, you feel

the pain. And if the touch is hard, pus and blood will come out,

creating more pain. Yes, anger is a deep, infected wound. It is a

disease and needs to be treated. It needs your compassion and loving

attention. Therefore, when someone gets angry, remember that he is a

sick person. Do not make him more sick; do not let more pus and blood

flow out of his wound. Do not make him experience more pain by

pressing and squeezing harder and harder. This means we should not

return anger. "

 

" What an angry person needs is condolence. Take pity on him and soothe

his wound of anger. Children, once again, Mother wants to remind you

that this is an opportunity. "

Yes, someone please do tell her about it, as she teaches.

And by " she " I certainly don't mean everyone's favorite

(bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep).

 

Obviously I had touched quite a large button on someone.

Stop deflecting the real issues, and you'll feel better in the long run.
