When Anger Turns to Hatred It Loses Its Effect/ or The Way To Inner Peace Is Not Hate

Anyone that is human knows that anger is an emotion that can motivate someone to "DO" something, but what if the anger turns to "hatred?"

Anger when used in the context of protecting can be effective but when this anger turns to hatred, then violence enters.  So hard to explain good anger from extreme anger, but in plain speech written in every sacred text about living with others this is the differentiation.

To get angry is a sign of the need to do something, but to let this anger grow into a hatred and wish harm to another is insanity. If we are to learn to live in peace we must learn to control our minds and actions.  When the line is crossed you will know it.

A thought that was expressed in a book I was reading about obtaining inner peace was this: "If you believe all humans are basically bad or flawed, then why get angry when they do something bad? This is like knowing there is a fire and getting upset that it gives out heat.

If on the other hand you believe all humans are basically good, then why get angry when a mistake is made? This is like looking at a blue sky and getting mad there are clouds in it sometimes."

Either way, keeping our anger in check helps us to be good to ourselves and in this we are good to all.

Thankful to seek and find the text that resonates with me.
