Anger is similar to a fire in an individual’s
mind. An unpleasant word or experience can
instigate this fire and make it flare up suddenly.
However, the duration of this fire is very short.
So, when we are angry, it would be wise to hold
our tongues or divert our minds and wait for this
temporary fire to subside. Once the fire has died
out, we will return to normalcy again. It is
important to control the anger, so that the flare-
up is controlled.

Waiting Policy
A
N
ANCIENT MAXIM
says: ‘Wait and watch.’
This is not just a maxim; it is a Law of Nature.
The policy of waiting means waiting for a better
future: waiting for tomorrow to bring something
we have not received today. This is undoubtedly
a matter of great wisdom, as it is possible that
you may receive tomorrow what you have not
received today.
