Anger and happiness, two sides of a coin

Everyone wishes to live his/her life happily but it won't happen. Why? It's due to human follies? Why human follies? It's because happiness and anger remain in human feelings. Both of them are human emotion. Everyone seems ready to listen to the appreciation but never wishes to listen to a single word against him/her. Both anger and happiness are like two sides of a single coin. A coin cannot be a coin if it has only a part active. Both of them are attached each other and they are impossible to separate physically. If they get separation they won't have existence alone. Their importance is seen only integration. No one can know who is happy and who is sad in isolation. To know happy, there must be sad, to know sad there must be happy too.  They are more or less in the form of nail and flesh of our finger.

Everyone has to practice to release anger from his/her emotion. Anger resides in every soul. It comes from nowhere. It is inside you. Some circumstances work as stimuli of it. Whatever you dislike if someone does in front of you, you get fired, don't you? Indeed, yes. Can you get satisfaction after pouring your anger over someone else? No never.  Then why you feel angry and remain full of anger? Maybe innocence. Somehow yes. Can we control our anger and fill with happiness and remain in peaceful mind?

Of course, we can. But how? If we give up greed and ego towards someone's performance, we can live in happiness. We should handle both anger and happiness equally, gently and fairly. Everyone wishes to have happiness but gets rid of anger. But he /she doe

sn't practice them. To release from anger, everyone has to practice to remain in silence. Silence is the mightiest weapon. It can destroy the human follies. It keeps everyone in peace. How can we be in silence? When we try to be a company of own and travel inside, it's possible. When someone practises to be in silences smile comes out from his /her lips to dazzle the witness.  When knowledge is covered by ignorance, anger is spontaneous to everyone. Moreover everyone has to realize that he/she has knowledge. Having knowledge is not great thing. Application of it is of great importance. For example, everyone knows smoking is injurious to us.  Even there is very disgusting images of lung on the packet of cigarette. Though everyone knows it's fatal to health, why they smoke. It is due to his/ her follies. Thus having knowledge doesn't have any sense until it is applied.

Anger comes out without any sense. Here is a story about a sage on how he got fired. Once, a sage was walking around the bottom of the beautiful hill. The hill was filled with beautiful shrubs and flowers as well as fruits. Birds were chirping, deer were jumping around and monkeys were swinging on trees and the leaves of the trees were fluttering. Sky was dark blue in the midday of the sun. Everything was pleasant. Even butterflies were flying over the flowers. There was a big deep lake filled with crystal clear water and beautiful lotuses. He looked around and saw a boat on the side of the lake. He took the boat, rode on it and sailed it in the middle of the pond. There was no disturbance at all. It was peace and calm. Only light waves could be seen on the lake.  He decided to do meditation. He shut up his eyes and began to meditation. Hours past. He enjoyed doing meditation. Unfortunately while he was in deep meditation, his boat was stroked time and again. He tried to control himself but couldn't. He opened his eyes and dipped his palm with fingers in the lake and took a little bit water and ready to curse and looked around, he could see only a boat from his back stroke his boat time and again. There was no one to disturb him. He could see no one. He thought it was done by someone. Only the circumstances made him think that it was done by anyone else. But he realized that he got furious without a cause. Why anger came to him .Did it come from outside? No never. It is due to the wind that made the boat move away and his boat was blocking the way of the boat. Thus the saint learned a big lesson and promised to be in silence even in the critical situation it's because silence is the mightiest weapon that can soothe down to the gun.

 Therefore, we human being the best being in the world should be the best by performing the best. We should not hurt to other. If we hurt, others might be angry. A good human's duty is to please not to anger anyone. We should try our best to be an apple of eyes but we should not add insult to injury. We should try to release from anger and sow the seed of smile to dazzle the world.
