Anger is just an emotion. Anger as one of the most powerful emotion, anger can cause a lot of grief. Anger can destroy family. Anger can ruin friendship. Anger can detour true life. If we continue in our anger, if we abide in anger, if we ignite anger then we are enablers to its chaos, we are enablers to its destruction. It is okay to feel angry now and then but it is never okay to act on that anger. We must learn that acting on that anger leads to all types of injustices. Anger can easily lead to murder. Anger can easily lead to stealing. Anger can easily lead to attacking one another. There is no peace in anger. Once it is started and it gets away with one thing, it forms another avenue to erupt itself. Anger does not rest. Anger does not sleep. Anger does not yield. It must be caught publicly. It must be disdained publicly. A community must collectively put the flame of anger out so that it will not be rekindled. Even if that community is just a family, family must train their children to use words and not violence. Their children must be taught that violence is a way of expressing anger and that anger held too long becomes very violent. So violent that you don't think of the other person as human anymore. You begin to act as if they are controlling your every move, as if they are ruling you through your anger. When we choose forgiveness over anger, we choose life. We choose to get over our selfish desires and we walk freely because we know that no one gets away anyway and we would rather spend our lives doing something meaningful than hating. It is the common notion that there are people who get away with doing crime and walking in anger for the rest of their life but as we see, as we learned there are very elderly people who have done crime in their youth who now must live the rest of their days in prison. There is no age too old to exhibit prison. We must know that anger is never the right weapon. We cannot stay protected under fire and that is what anger is like. Anger is a fire that is never done, always ready to continue destroying lives, anger never finds rest. Anger continues to boil like water until the last drop then burning the pot from which it came from starting a fire that destroys the home. When you let anger out of control, you let a raging fire that could have been put out with the fire extinguisher of forgiveness to overcome you. Let this be a warning, make amends with those who hurt you, make amends with those who you hurt, apologize and ask forgiveness before its too late. If they were close kindreds then try to rebuild that relationship slowly. If a builder builds a house quickly then its foundation will fall apart. It takes time to build a house. It takes time to repair relationship but know that the effort is worth more than the work.You can beat anger and overcome. Anger is defeatable if you put the effort to resist its grip and hold in your life. For there is nothing you cannot accomplished if you become an instrument of forgiveness. Don't let anger tempt you any longer. Don't let anger override your sanity. Don't let anger become your personality. You must resist it. You must overcome it with love and mutual respect. And you must recognized that it is apart of nature that we can overcome with our minds. The most incredible thing that humans were given is their mind. With our minds can we change the world. With our minds can we overcome. Our minds can we perceive the world as limitless, impossible, and grandeur. The mind is the greatest gift because it can overcome any challenge if we focus it, if we mediate it, if we direct it, if we maintain it.
