Anger

🕉️Anger leads to clouding of judgement, which results in confusion of memory; when the memory is bewildered, the intellect gets destroyed; and when the intellect is destroyed, one is ruined.

(Bhagavad gita 2.63)

(Bhagavad gita 2.63)

What happen when we are angry?

We keep thinking how bad the other person is, how unfair the situation is, how unfair life is, how bad we are being treated, how selfish the other person is...

We will react according to that...

The thinking is one way, that person is bad.

He/She is wrong, I am the victim.

Because we are overtaken by this anger emotion, we are not able to think properly, not able to see we have contributed to that situation, not able to see there are issues within us which leads to those actions/thoughts...

We are blindfolded by anger.

You can imagine what will happen when one is blindfolded by anger...

He will hurt himself.

He will hurt others too.

This is unavoidable.

Unless one can STOP, calm down and deal with this anger emotion, he will keep on living in a blindfolded state, keep on the hurt and suffering.

我們生氣時會怎樣呢？

我們會不斷地埋怨：對方有多討厭，多卑鄙，那狀況有多不公平，對方有多離譜，我們有多受苦，對方有多自私...

我們會在這狀態下做出反擊，因為要洩憤...

在憤怒的狀態下，我們的想法是單向性的：對方是個大衰人。

"他是大衰人，我是受害者。"

當我們被憤怒的情緒牽著走時，我們無法正常地思考，無法誠實地問自己是否也有責任導致那狀況發生，無法看到我們內在是否早已有負面情緒，而引致到那局面。

我們就只是被憤怒蒙住了眼睛。

你可以想像當一個人被憤怒蒙蔽了時會發生什麼...

他會傷害自己。 他也會傷害別人。 這是無可避免的。

除非他能夠 “停下來”，冷靜下來，看清楚是憤怒的情緒蒙蔽了一切，否則他將永遠在這蒙蔽了的狀態下生活，繼續受苦。
