SEVEN REASONS WHY WE SHOULD NOT GET ANGRY

Master Jun Hong Lu:

  1. We should never get angry as our anger will only eliminate the very last trace of rational thought in us.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will ignite the excruciating sense of grievance deep inside us.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will destroy our normal course of life.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will engulf our last bit of courage to forgive others in the end.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will only make things worse.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will not hurt anyone else but ourselves, aggravating our pain and worsening our own emotional distress.
  1. We should never get angry as our anger will not make anyone see the truth; it only steers us back to the wrong behaviour which leads us to make the same mistake again.
