Enemy??

As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.

- Dalai Lama

Anger is our worst enemy and it can destroy our lives. To find happiness one should find inner peace and it is possible only through continuous appraisal of oneself. Anger to me is an tree sown from the seed known as "fear". We all fear about things like relationships, job, money, living up to our responsibilities etc. Amidst all this we forget about others around us and our earth for instance. We are not the only living beings on this planet but it belongs to so many more beautiful creatures.

Compassion and love for everything around us would really help in making this world a more beautiful place. It is important to have faith in oneself and spread as much love as possible in times of sorrow or sadness. It starts with one person i.e. me or I or myself; and then continues to spread across our planet. So, stop thinking about harming anyone with our anger either through words or action. Remember, what goes around comes around and no one can defend themselves from this law of nature.

Remember the world is a reflection of oneself and you wouldn't want to see a bad image. Take care and get over our fear which will put an end to all other negative emotions. Lead a life of eternal joy and peace!

  1. Anger - a very important emotion to keep under control. For a person to hold their tongue at the initial feelings of anger can sometimes be very hard to do but we may be very happy that we did delay our outbursts of that anger until we have had a chance to calm down and express ourselves in a different way! We will feel better within ourselves and the other person will understand our anger without antagonizing ourselves or them! That will mean good communication for both! .... peace..... xox
