If You Are Angry.

Rating: 4.9


If you are angry
face your anger
as a friend, in love.
Meet your anger
in non violence
with sympathy,
and with a loving heart.

This is actually very good advice and at the same time poetically written. I keep reading it over and over again and still marvel at the thought. The next time I have an anger attack, I am going to try this.

Anger is one of the negative emotions that is detrimental to our health, relations and even to our deep faith. This poem must be put to our hearts. A powerful succinct write.
