Don't let evil forces dominate you!
Nowadays, there are more and more horrifying cases that we thought can only happen in movies. Recently, there was a reported case of a man having his body chopped up into 11 pieces and stuffed into five rubbish bags before being put into the refrigerator. Click here for more details.
Isn't that horrible? You might ask. What's wrong with this people? Well, indeed, it is difficult to comprehend. Anyway, the following quotes are very true:
"Anger is one letter short of danger."
"Great anger is more destructive than the sword."
Well, in the moment of anger, many people can become totally insane and such unbecoming actions can happen.
Let's take a look at this story:
A man came out of his home to admire his new car. To his puzzlement, his three-year-old son was happily hammering dents into the shiny paint of the car.
The man ran to his son, knocked him away, hammered the little boy's hands into pulp as punishment. When the father calmed down, he rushed his son to the hospital. Although the doctor tried desperately to save the crushed bones, he finally had to amputate the fingers from both the boy's hands.
When the boy woke up from the surgery and saw his bandaged stubs, he innocently said, "Daddy, I'm sorry about your car." Then he asked, "but when are my fingers going to grow back?" The father went home and committed suicide.

Think about this story the next time you see someone spill milk at a dinner table or steps on your feet and you wish to take revenge. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Cars can be repaired. Broken bones and hurt feelings often can't. Too often we fail to recognize the difference between the person and the performance.
People make mistakes. We are allowed to make mistakes. But the actions we take while in a rage will haunt us forever. Pause and ponder. Think before you act. Be patient. Understand and love.

“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Anger is a momentary madness, so control your passion or it will control you." - Horace
"If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow." - Chinese Proverb

Its so easy to click into anger mode, and some people just cannot seem to rein that monster in, once its loose.There are sadly some guys and girls who have learnt from an early age to react with anger to any trivial thing.Terrifying, but a true fact of life.Sam, this post will remind me to never jump into anger mode, but to walk in a graceful manner where I can.Thank you

FYI, I just had a cup of coffee from my wife. Hmm... will I be over-caffeinated today? Well, last night, I slept at around 2.00am. With another cup of virtual coffee, I won't be sleeping at all tonight! :-)
Have a great day!

Hi Sam...
Fabulous post!
Here is a little story that goes along with this theme...
I once had a neighbor whose young son died at the age of three. About a month after his death we were sitting outside in my front yard when another neighbor across the street started yelling at her six year old son for leaving his bike outside over night.
My neighbor with whom I was sitting, starting crying and said, "I wish I had a son to leave his bike out."
I've never forgotten this....
Thank you my friend for helping us all to live better lives!
Jen

Thanks for give me all the encouragement. I really appreciate it very much.

Great Post. Sometimes someone may trigger your anger and you are unable to control your anger and in the end you regret what you have done. An advice "Think thrice before you act" and wait until you have calm down then you made decision or else the decision made will not be wise.
"Think thrice before you act" and wait until you have calm down...
That's a great advice, Honman!
Thank you for your insight and wisdom!
