P.S. you may also enjoy the video below. When we have anger we suffer. It is compassion to recognize such suffering in others. When someone is angry they cannot be happy. It is for us to listen. If we are happy we will not return anger for anger. We will have an entirely different approach. We will give compassion. If we do not have compassion to give we can start developing it.
There is a time we cannot agree with others and may even have to stand up and resist their ignorance. However we do not have to do so with anger but as a witness of our own behavior mindful of the fact that we at times must remain firm in our stance but always ready to listen to others...their pain their suffering... their anger.
Great video. Great conclusions. Thank you. I can attest to this, that is, I live this every day when encountering angry people driving on the road. Some days my mood is so good when I witness an angry driver on the road and they choose to interact I simply get out of their way and not think twice on it. Other days, my mood is more cynical- my ego is large... when the same thing happens I will laugh at them or even give them their anger right back by putting on a show- hoping to excite them more so.
It takes a great discipline to master compassion and a greater drive to cultivate a sense of everlasting peace.
Thanks friend!
