Anger - how to deal with it

Anger is an emotion that all humans have. No-one can raise their hands for they don't possess it. Of-course many psycologists say anger has functional value for survival.

But anger as an emotion may affect personal or social relationship. Yes, someone's action may bring back our reaction in anger. Such reactions may affect our relationship with those persons. Sometime it draws the conclusion of ending the relationship with those persons.

As we know, it is very difficult to build a relationship. Breaking/hurting such built relationship within minutes is too hard to digest. So how to save the relationship during such scenarios?

We could not control anger in most cases. The crack on the wall of relationship develops at the time of emotion 'anger'. This is because at the time of anger we most probably think about the other person on negative shade. And even whatever good he/she did/does/will-do for us, we might be seeing him with negative perspective. This builds the enmity.

So the simple thing what we can do is, while we are angry with someone forget them for a while. 'A while' could be the time until we are out of the emotion 'anger'. In simple words we can say "don't take any decision at any emotion".

Great religious vision

On browsing a daily newspaper, I found this most appealing religious view by some industrialist.

Ultimately there was no better way to serve the Hindu dharma than serve them all and love them all.

Earlier I have made a post "love thy neighbour - way to see god" highlighting this.

Watching TV - A time killing mechanism!!

Today most of the youngsters tend to spend a part of their daily life in watching television (TV). And they don't know why their TVs are switched-on for most of the time. They wander around the TV-channels endlessly by pressing on TV-remote keys mindlessly.

You believe, they have excuse for such a hazardous habit. The excuse is 'relaxation'.

I relate watching TV (mindlessly) to smoking cigarettes. Both have two in common. First, both reduces our time that should be spent for ourselves. Yes, cigarettes reduces our life span by bringing death earlier. TV is bit different. It takes away part of our time from our life span. Second, people who are habitual to both says they do it for relaxation.

I can say these people can be categorized into anyone of the following:

1. They don't know the actual meaning of relaxation.
2. They think they can use relaxation as a shield to hide their weakness/inability to keep these modern day devils under their check.

Love thy neighbour - way to see god

I could see some people worship the god for the sake of (only) themselves. For they want to lead a happy and content life. Don't bother about others. Just for them and their family should be content.

I see such people don't bother/respect thy neighbor. They are not ready to talk, adjust or love thy neighbors. They even sans to bother about the surroundings for keep it neat and tidy. But these people put more effort on looting (worship) the god for their sake.

But the interesting fact is they would not refuse to get the benefits from thy neighbors. Also I see these people are not even ashamed of benefiting from others for whom they don't show any concern over them.

Here arises questions such as, if these so called pious people are not even able to respect thy neighbors how could their worship be valued. Their worship is just a loot to pacify the god for keeping them and their family content. I don't find any difference between these pious people and those who rob money and put a part of it in temple hundi.
