Anger - The poison

From anger false beliefs arise and from these false beliefs confusion in memory occurs. Confusion results in loss of intelligence and rationality and once intelligence and rationality are lost it leads to destruction of man.

I read this line every day. I have put up a print on my office desk. I want to believe in it cause I know this is true. Anger can blow up a lot if things in life. Anger makes you say words that you don't probably mean.And not everytime will your anger be "understood" by others. You will not get away by them for the excuse "You know what forget it, I know he did not mean it. He was just angry". You might get away sometimes but surely not everytime. And this mistake can prove really costly. It can blow up relationships. It can blow up million dollar deals and just about everything. In return there is only pain and agony.

How many times it has happened in your life that you get angry on ur brother or sister or any other person who you know and then there is a fight. If at all you end up using those key harsh words just because of your anger the fight becomes more dramatic and then you are brought to a point where you just switch off from the person and not talk for a while. 

Its incomparably harder to make or maintain a relationship than to ruin it. And YES ANGER WILL RUIN IT !.

I am finding ways myself to work around anger. One way that works for me is to just go quiet, give in to the argument, accept defeat. You are no small man if u accept defeat one time two time three time, chances are that fourth one will be your win. May be the other person might feel something's not right.  

The very first line I wrote about the destruction of man was translated from the holy book Geeta.

Aug 2011 .. Really?

Time did fly … My last post was in 2007 ! …. So much changed … I became a professional from a student J … I am no longer single L .. now that says a lot that the time indeed has flown by. But when I look back in these 4 years of my life I have a bit of disappointment as to what I could have achieved. Yes I graduated, Yes I got a wonderful job, Yes I got married, Yes I am still working BUT this is what I was in any case supposed to do at minimum, Isn’t it? But what else ! I am disappointed that I have not made enough friends. I am disappointed that I have not learnt enough. I am disappointed I have not gone ahead with day to day learning of “Finance”. I have always wanted to learn basic finance as it runs in my blood. However its disappointing that 4 years have gone by in a blink of an eye and I could achieve only what I was supposed to achieve.

These kind of milestone’s in one’s life are a must and hence I feel I have achieved nothing but just the basic things that were expected out of me. I have not done anything apart from my routine life. I have not gone out of the way. I might sound a bit abstract as to what “extra” am I looking out of my life. Well that’s the disappointment ! I know I am feeling lost and feel that I could do much more. Not sure who said this but I will quote to whoever said this “You cannot cross the ocean just by staring at it”. To one and all I am sure a lot of you will be in this boat.

It time to get something more out of life. May it be social service or personal service, but it is very important to make use of your time and talent to achieve something more that what you are supposed to do. When I make this statement I feel I am just a talker and not a doer. Well saying nothing more than I want to do something more with my life and I will do it and I wish you will to if you are already not.
