The curse of Anger !

-


Anger blinds us and we see what is not. It disables our ability to judge correctly and we do things for which we repent  a life time.

The Budha Says “Slay anger and you will be happy” With anger slain, one weeps no more. An angry man is an ugly man with peace and happiness miles away. Despite all the comforts he may have, he can’t sleep ; despite his wealth, he is poor. Filled with anger, he hurts others by acts of body and speech.

Each one of us tends to gt angry over the slightest issue or irritant. Someone has hurt, you or your near and dear ones.  Someone has caused you or your dear ones material loss. Someone has not behaved well with you or your near or dear ones, and you get furious and do things only a mad person can do.

True, all of us don’t react in anger and make a counter attack. The more sensible of us would like to “pass off” such cases as not our problem, but the problem of the person causing it. One must change the way of looking at such incidents and convince one’s self that the other person in trouble and needs your love, not hatred. One must adopt a philosophy of life that is based on Brownian thought “good to forgive, best to forget”

And who had said that you have to be “little” to be “belittled”. How true! If you try to rise above the base feelings, you would be at a level no mud can reach you. No insult or harm can come your way. Remember, the good and the noble will not harm you, and the rest are already “too belittled”.
Plato had said in beautiful words, “He who commits injustice is ever made more wretched than he who suffers it”

In other words, it is all in our hands to keep ourselves free of the brute and the insane. Only you, and not any other, can be your deadliest enemy if you fail to control your senses. The enemy lurks within. You must be sensible enough to tame it.

Is there any difference between honesty, Integrity or dignity?

-
Reading is my hobby and now writing has taken that place recently. Well I was reading one book the other day and I noticed few words on which I got little confuse so I thought of doing some research on it to get the real meaning. These words are honesty and integrity.  After going through dictionary and some other available sources, I got to know the difference between honestly, integrity, dignity. Though I feel honesty and integrity are the synonyms but I came to know the definition of it, and it changed my perspective.  Honesty is when you tell the truth. Integrity is the validity of the truth (or standing morals). Like many other words, these two represent a whole world of meaning. They are used all the time and most of the time, people tend to understand what you mean if you use these words. Honesty is being honest to someone and integrity is maintaining self-respect and honesty. My opinion is you can be honest without integrity but you can’t maintain you...

Life is hard !!!

-
Trust me!!! On this earth nobody is fortunate enough to have the life without any struggle or trouble. Therefore when we say others are doing better than us or their luck favors them more than us or they have not faced any difficulty, we are making fool of ourselves.   Instead of that the truth is whenever they were going through difficult times they have crossed the hurdles with their determinatio n power and their focus towards their goals was so high, they achieved what they wanted to achieve and came out as a winner. Life teaches us many lesson and life depending on what the person wants to achieve, gives the opportunity to prove one-self. If you want to be a winner, you have to be strong enough to face the difficulty, whatever it may be, to become a winner.

Competition “A Threat or An opportunity?

-
How many of us are comfortable with competition. Aren’t we afraid the moment we hear the word competition? Most of the times, we try to give excuses in the name of competition. So when we say competition is high, we are actually escaping from the reality. Either we don’t want to work or we are so lazy to avoid hard work. If we want to exist in this world, we have to either “perform” or we will be “perish”. If we do not have competitor, we will be doing what we are doing, Competition gives us an opportunity to prove oneself.  My dear Friends, nothing comes free and you all know this, then why we are not ready to face competition. Instead of focusing on competition or what others got, we should concentrate on ourselves. We all have ability to achieve what we want; the only thing which we need is persistence and hardwork to achieve what we want. Many of the times we become so comfortable with whatever we have, we do not want to put extra hard work to do something different an...
