While a man was working and his boss started shouting at him, it made
him weak and useless. And when the man got home, he immediately shouted at his
wife, accusing her of spending too much money. This made her feel small and
helpless. So she shouted at their son for breaking a plate. It made the child
feel clumsy and stupid. So the child shouted at the dog and kicked it. The dog
felt hurt and frightened. So the dog ran outside and bit a woman on the street.
The woman was shocked and in pain. And when she went to the hospital to treat
the bite, and shouted at the doctor because the treatment hurt, the doctor felt
frustrated and unappreciated.
And when the doctor went home and shouted at his mother for not having
dinner ready, his mother stayed calm. She stroked his hair and said, “Tomorrow
I will cook your favorite meal. You work so hard, and you’re very tired. I’ll
go put fresh sheets on your bed so you can have a good night’s sleep. You’ll
feel better in the morning,” She kissed him on the cheek and left him alone to
rest. And so the circle of anger was broken with patience, forgiveness, and
love. It’s so important not to spread anger. If you find yourself caught up in
a circle of anger, remember you can break it; if you are patient, you are
willing to forgive, and you are full of love.
