“You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.” - Buddha

We can all agree that irrational anger ends in sorrow and remorse. Anger is a vicious cause that human nature creates. If one cannot control their anger, outside circumstances will always control them. The way to control your anger is in the way you think of the circumstance, and the way that you think of the circumstance is to think constructively. To think constructively is a matter of choice, which then brings us to our habits. Habits are functions of the subconscious mind; it is the reaction to your repetitive thoughts and actions. Every person has the power of choice, but once we repeatedly exercise that choice, it no longer becomes a choice as it is consumed by the compulsion of that habit. Your own mood is the only master you have.

“The inside always controls the outside and your inside is always determined by what you think, and what you think is a matter of choice.” - Dr. Seale

"Anger is nothing more than an outward expression of inner disconnect."
