Ever since our childhood, we are taught about the seven deadly sins of life: Pride, Envy, Sloth, Lust, Gluttony and Greed. In case you haven't noticed so far, those are only six. And amazingly the seventh one that we often ignore (considering it to be trivial), is Anger. Many a times, we find ourselves in a situation in which we can only calm ourselves down by delivering a blow on the face of our opponent (and by that, i'm not talking about sports). And, frankly, in most of those situations we do nothing but listen. Althought, its the right choice too (again, in most of the situations, but not all), but how do we get to decide who deserved a violent outburst from our side and who deserves a peaceful banter.
Compromising with family members seems understandable, but what about others ??? Friends, people we meet almost everyday, peer to peer workers. How do we get to express our anger towards them, without actually being offending ??? Well, the answer is we don't or should I say we can't. Ones again, letting all the anger to stay within us, letting it built within us. In todays world, when most of the people are corrupt and no one cares about other but themselves, can a peaceful facade actually survives ??? Not to avocate violence and still not to advocate peace, but now a day when we tend to compromise with mostly everything we are dealted with, I couldn't help but wonder:
When does the act to compromise becomes compromising ???

quote "In todays world, when most of the people are corrupt and no one cares about other but themselves, can a peaceful facade actually survives ???" unquote, when the authors says that most of the people are corrupt, and all they care about is themselves..i am sure he must be including himself..so i feel the most perfect way to suppress ur anger is to remember the time when u also behaved in the way that would have probably made someone else angry.
Its like the story about a boy..who was once making a wooden bowl, and when his parents asked him what was he doing he said that he was making a bowl for their old age so that when they get old and get clumsy with old age he can feed them in this wooden bowl the way they (parents) do with grandfather.
or in other words..TIT FOR TAT!
the only difference is that u give the TIT to someone and u get the TAT from someone else..
I would say it is not that we dont care for each other.. thats easier to think that people are bad and dont think about anyone but themselves... we all make mistake, make each other angry or hurt each other... without keeping inside what you feel it is better discuss the point and explain what you didnt like and how you would like it to be said/done.. be nice to people they might be fighting the battle you know nothing about...
