Anger and Hatred

When we find ourselves under the domination of anger or hatred we do not feel right, either mentally or physically. Everyone else notices this and nobody feels like being with us. Even animals run away from us, apart from fleas and mosquitoes which are only after our blood! We loose our appetite, we don't sleep well, sometimes we get ulcers, and if we continually in this state, we certainly shorten our lifespan.To what end? Even if we allow our rage to go all the way, we will never eliminate all our enemies. Do you know of anyone who ever has? As long as we harbour that inner enemy of anger or hatred, however successful we are at destroying our outer enemies today, others will emerge tomorrow.
