Anger just overwhelms. It rises like a storm and destroys everything in its way. Compulsive. Essential. Immediate. But where is this anger coming from? And why is it so hard to resist?
Whether torrent of tears, or verbal tirade, or physical abuse… just bursts forth like molten lava, freezing relationships into distorted shapes.
Can this be avoided? Controlled? Is it possible to look directly at the temper and ask it to stand down? Just that one moment… just that one look… is enough for convincing our mind otherwise.
Whether thoughts of anger or calm—both rise from within. Both a choice we make through our conditioning and beliefs. We need to break the conditioning that gives us a handbook of naturally acceptable reactions.
The only thing natural to every human being is love. So stop believing otherwise. Stop acting against your nature. Anger is not natural. Tension is not natural.
What we believe about ourselves is more important than whatever anyone says to us or about us. Our words try to convince the world. Our convictions change it.
How to control this mind is the most important question here.
Going through this wild forest of thought-experiences each time finds chaotic, wild solutions. The jungle being the norm, we need to slowly form a clearing. Plant fresh flowers and seeds. Welcome the guests of experience, knowing they have entered our home for a little bit of your time.
Really look at things as ephemeral—to create a garden of your choice.
