Anger is one of the human emotions. We have it for a good reason and to the contrary of the conventional belief which teaches us implicitly or explicitly that we should get angry whenever we encounter a repugnant event.

Know the five causes of anger: pride, vanity, mockery, fault-finding and blame, and greed.

To get angry is a good sign that we have not yet mastered ourselves! It is because we are still strangers to ourselves.

It is human to be angry. Nevertheless, it is immature to let events control our emotion.  How many people utter something hurtful to their loved ones out of anger? How many relationships or opportunity have been lost because of anger?

Anger differentiates the inexperienced from the master. The ability to control our anger is the beginning of self–mastery. Anger-control is a tact we can all learn. Forbearance is the first step of self-mastery. Few people who have achieved self–mastery, overcame their anger both in private and public. Thus, they have led a peaceful lifestyle.

When a loved one or a friend or a customer show impertinent towards us, we must remain in a strong, calm, undisturbed, quiet, non-reactionary and polite position. In other words, we must never lose the control of our emotion.

Meanwhile, if we cannot control our anger, we must learn to control our tongues. We may say something we later regret.
