There are some false ideas about anger that we have acquired, which we use to justify and nourish our anger:
1. Anger is a natural response to other people’s behaviour.
Fact:
You don’t realize the danger anger presents to your personal health and well-being. By maintaining this belief, you conveniently avoid the inner work of changing a deep negative habit.
Tip For Transformation (Change):
Meditation enables you to remain kind towards what and who you see, no matter what they appear to have done.
2. In order to be assertive (confidently aggressive or self-assured), I have to use anger as a weapon.
Fact:
Anger is the opposite of assertiveness. When you become angry, firstly you are killing yourself, and those with whom you become angry are only going to give back to you what they get or distance themselves from you completely.
Tip For Transformation:
To make a real and lasting peace with others we need to be anger-free, which can be achieved through meditation.
