Angry Kya?

What is the reaction of an individual when extremely angry? Verbal abuse, curses, physical abuse to the self or another person, destruction of property etc.

Bad Anger leads to destruction of relationships.

A father verbally cursed his daughter when he was angry because she didn’t behave in a way that pleased him or treat him the way he wanted to be treated — as the king of the castle.

Guess what happened to their relationship?

The father’s curses, betrayal and emotional abuse didn't affect his daughter at all, but she instead detached herself completely from him forever.

Many of us let our tempers run out of control, turning others bitter over time.

So what should you do when you’re angry? Discuss the issue. Communication resolves misunderstandings.

Or take a walk. Step out for a few minutes to cool off. Cry your heart out, rather than physically abusing someone. Crying when angry and hurt is a great way to express yourself.

And always, always mind your tongue.

Make a conscious effort to stop using abusive words and demeaning sentences.

Learn to forgive. No human is perfect. Learn to adjust rather than constantly being angry and dissatisfied with others.
