Anger feels powerful in the moment…
but the truth is, it hurts you far more than it ever hurts the person who triggered it.
Think about it:
When you’re angry,
your heart races,
your mind burns,
your peace disappears,
your day gets ruined —
all because of someone else’s words or actions.
They go on with their life.
You carry the burden.
✨ Anger is self-punishment for another person’s behavior.
You swallow the poison hoping they’ll suffer —
but it’s you who feels the pain.
This doesn’t mean you allow disrespect or stay silent in every situation.
It means you choose wisdom over reaction,
clarity over impulse,
peace over emotional chaos.
When you pause instead of explode,
you protect your mind.
When you let go instead of holding grudges,
you free your heart.
When you choose calmness,
you win without fighting.
The Buddha taught that holding onto anger is like holding a hot coal —
you burn yourself first.
Let go of anger.
Protect your peace.
Don’t punish yourself for someone else’s behavior.
