Julius Caeser was a haughty king. He had no control over his language and he normally used harsh words to scold his subjects. His uncivilized behavior made him unpopular. One day, one of his ministers handed him over a dossier.
The dossier was written by one of his bitter critics in which he had made an attempt to tarnish the image of the king. The king reacted normally; took the dossier and consigned it to the flames. Surprised at the strange behavior of the king, the minister asked, “My Lord, why you throw the dossier into the fire?” “Had I kept this booklet with me, it would have busted the volcano of my anger. And this would have reduced me to ashes,” replied Caeser coolly.
The theme of the story is that the root cause of anger need to be uprooted before it uproots us. Darayodan's easy-to-loose temper and his failure to tame his anger led to fratricidal war. Ravana – the king of Lanka also succumbed to his anger and abducted Sita. Had he not allowed his anger to overpower him, he would have saved his life and those of his subjects as well.
Anger is fire. It engulfs those who fall in its trap. It blunts your mind; badly affects the power of reasoning and hampers its magical ability to sieve good from bad. A bout of anger is self destructive. It twists muscles and hits their strength. And this hastens the process of ageing. It raises blood pressure and sugar level which in turn leads a lot of ailments. Anger releases those hormones in the blood stream which prove fatal for the body.
Anger can be tackled in several ways. Try to manage your time by planning. Avoid bad company and bad habits. Do not be a part of unhealthy and cut-throat competition. Do mediation and learn to socialize. Take exercise daily and laugh off your worries.
