Anger

Respond instead of react

Bhagavad Gita 6.6

"For one who has conquered the self by the Self, the Self is a friend; but for one who has not, the Self remains as an enemy in hostility."

Modern interpretation

In a moment of stillness, receive this: When you cannot master yourself, you become the person you most have to defend yourself against.

Practical action

Imagine the person you're upset with as a child. Notice if anything softens.

Reflection question

What would peace cost me — and am I willing to pay it?
