Do you still get angry and throw all caution to the wind because you think
someone has wronged you? Because they have acted stupidly you too must talk
rashly and raise your voice. You too must spew venom! You are only displaying
your lack of humility. You are also indulging yourself in your weaknesses, for
it indeed takes more effort and maturity and humility to maintain your calm no
matter the provocation. As children we were told: so if someone tells you to
put your fingers in the fire will you? Same here. Their bad behavior is not an
excuse for you to become a terrorist! If you call a fool a bloody fool, it does
not make him more of a fool but it reveals that you have a lot to do about your
own manners! Ralph Waldo Emerson was quoted to have said: “For every minute you
are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”
Harmony alone furthers us. May we resolve from now on to embrace refinement and that great simplicity which lies in the naturalness of perpetual self-control.
