Your anger is your worst enemy

Anger is something which is an outburst of emotions which may not necessarily be true but just in the heat of the moment they come out negatively. Let's make it clear here that anger and irritation are quite different. Irritation leads to bad mood and consequently we may get irritated on small-small things during such phase but yes it is not anger. While anger on the other hand occurs when our ego is hurt.

A persons ego is how he wants people to look at him and behave with him. It is a personal line that is created which if crossed, ego gets hurt. It is not bad at all. Everyone should carry some kind of self respect. Because if we lose our own self respect, how can we expect others to respect us. The problem here is not the ego but on how small grounds we are allowing it to get hurt. The more easily we allow to get it hurt, the more likely and faster we are bound to get angry.

Well getting angry is also after all not that bad. The worst thing is that when we are angry, we show the other side of our character which is not who we actually are. We behave bad, we disrespect, some get violent, take wrong decisions and what not. Any day and I say any day, a decision taken in anger is 100% wrong in life, which we are ultimately going to regret it later.

Any person who knows us well will definitely stick by us in such times because that person actually knows us and won't form a negative judgement about us so easily. These are our parents, siblings, friends(well the real ones must be still with you). But we have to remember that even our closest ones carry an ego and not every time he/she might have the energy or patience to take it.

Well though we cannot completely avoid getting angry but we can surely control it for the well-being of ourselves and the people around us. It has quite remedies which are basically of no use as we don't actually give a damn in such situations of outburst. The simple remedy to this is self control. An outburst controlled even for a moment (be it some minutes or seconds) can calm the whole situation down. It is that sudden reaction that creates all the problems. The more instantly reactive we get, more likely we bound to misinterpret things wrongly.

Our Anger is our worst enemy. It spoils everything - family ties, friendships, relationships, careers and it kills us too. As I'm reminded of the childhood quote I was taught in school , I'll only say that

" Kill Your Anger Before it Kills You !! "
