If Only We Can Slowdown our Anger

We get angry easily.
Today, in the middle of the bustling road of Jakarta, you’re trapped in a traffic jam. You can’t do anything but you’re going to be late for an important meeting. In the frustration, you shout, you get angry with the traffic, with the lack of ability of government to manage the traffic. You also get angry with the amount of the cars that increase more and more each day. You get angry with almost everything at that moment.
But then, a soft whisper comes to make you realize that you should slow to become angry, so that you can have a more peaceful life.

If only we can slowdown our anger, I’m sure that more people will experience more peace at heart. And again, I do hope that the peace that you bring could be spread to your friends or families around you. Let’s make this world a more peaceful place.

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry.
