Quotation for Monday 22nd June 2020

Good morning everyone,

For a reason I won't go into, I found myself getting a bit angry this morning. I had a Buddhist teacher once who said that when people give in to anger, they are acting unskilfully, so I do try not to give in to it, but once in a while, as with most people, it bursts forth and I have to remind myself to stay calm and breathe. I won't say what made me angry, but it did have me thinking about what others might say about anger management, and I quite liked this:

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else: you are the one who gets burned." - Buddha -

Anger seldom solves anything. It even starts wars. So I completely agree with its being unskilful behaviour. How about you?

Hope you all have a great start to this week.

That’s an excellent quote and I will remember that. I’ll pass it onto my daughter too. I’ll admit to being quick to anger but it seldom gets me anywhere so that quote is one to hold onto.

Enjoy a peaceful, serene day. Xxx🥰
