Anger - a silent killer

Patience is the word we hear so much that we now have become its absolute opposite. Yes we have become impatient even to listen to a simple word like patience. All we think, finally becomes our action so it won't be wrong to say that we have so much anger stuck in our mind that it only gets its way out through our actions and unfortunately there is no end of stock here.

We stubborn souls will not agree, still there is always room for improvement. Scientific studies have proven that anger has a direct negative impact on our health, and can be a root cause for many diseases including the cardiac ones. To make you realize the harm that you are causing to yourself by being angry is a very difficult task but lets take a look at the body chemistry which might highlight such facts that can scare the heck out of you. The tears out of happiness, sadness and anger all have different chemicals. When you cry out of anger, you can see the most harmful chemical formation in the fluid. Similarly, when you are angry you exhale poisonous breath. This doesn't mean you are only excreting the toxics, you are also developing them inside your body. These are the alarming signs which shows the injustice that you are doing to yourself.

If you are wise enough, then you should have already understood the hazards but now the next problem in question is how to refrain oneself from anger? And the magic spell to the freedom is '6 seconds'. It is as easy as it sounds because it only requires practice. The practice of shifting your concerntration for 6 seconds from the object of hate to the object of love. Six seconds of silence is all we need. Next time whenever you feel angry shift your focus from that person or thought and think about something you love, think about God, think about nature or simply see the positive aspects of the person in question. You will see the results as after those initial six seconds, your anger automatically starts to drop in intensity. One step at a time and you will eradicate this bad habit of yours with the blessings of God. Both life and relationships are precious, so try to treasure them.

This is pretty cool. I should try this some time because I seem to have a pretty short temper. The next time I get angry, I will think about teletubbies. :P

Thanks for sharing that! Anger does more harm to oneself socially, morally, and emotionally that we are able to comprehend.

Try to stay absolutely silent when angry to avoid harmful consequences. works well for me...
