Yeah, get rid of me and you can prove an important point at the same time.

JazakAllahu Khayr for the beneficial article. It should also be noted that anger depletes all your B vitamins without which many vital substances cannot be absorbed by the body, resulting in many physical and psychological symptoms taking place. Therefore, If we are getting angry constantly, we must make sure that we are getting a good dose of our vitamin B's back, which can be found in Beansprout, avacardo, wholegrains, nuts, mushrooms, bananas, oranges, yeast extract, green leafy veggies and soya milk/meat.

so far with it worked, its a good thing that you dnt get angry, but at times u should:P:P

wow, this is new info for me... the connection between anger and vitamin B in the body... thanks for sharing

very helpful... modern way to get the anger out... safer if no one near u... usually they makeu madder... and madder... till u gotta hit em...then regret it... they be laughin tho.lol

One good solution to anger is to live to be too old to get angry.

But, if you can't do that you can try a few things.

1. Only get angry at people you know will beat the daylights out of you

2. Rip up all the money in your wallet whenever you get angry

3. Bite a brick when you get angry

4. Kick a 700 pound gorilla


I assure you if you do anyone of those things every time you get angry, you will soon stop getting angry.


Or you can do the simple and more beneficial thing. Make du'a and sincerly repent for allowing your self to ever becoming unrighteously angered.

I am not a person that gets angry easily. If someone is doing something that bothers me however I am not very good at telling them straight out to stop in the fear that i'll hurt their feelings or i'll ruin our relationship etc. Instead, I start dropping hints. This has been a problem though, ive found that some people don't pick up on the hints and they continue to do the same things that annoy me which eventually causes me to get angry with them.

For instance, the other day my aunt was going through my things in my bedroom, not with the intention of snooping but to clean up etc. but I felt it to be an invasion of my privacy. In the past, I have had conversations with her and I had dropped hints or spoken of how I did not like people going through my stuff or prying into my business etc. So, I figured she was fully aware of the fact that I'm a private person and I am not comfortable with people doing that..
Also, when she was in my room I told her 3 times nicely to not do that and that i'd clean it up myself but the minuite I went to the bathroom she was back into my stuff again..
That's when I got angry and I said to her that ..it's not fair I told you 3 times that I didn't need your help..I don't go through your things why are you going through my things...
and then she looked shocked, she said to me i thought you said that bc you were looking out for my health and not because you felt i was prying through your things...
and now i feel bad bc i feel like she was just trying to help and i got mad at her for nothing :-(
Maybe in order to avoid my anger I should be more direct with people so that i can avoid misuderstanding and anger later on?

Be Calm ....

Here is a Lesson... http://www.islamicboard.com/general/...ven-storm.html (A Calm mind can overcome even a storm)

Try to be patient

Greetings and peace be with you all,

Ok I am a Christian, but here is some Buddhist philosophy on anger.

Anger is a most destructive force and we often fail to understand that we hurt ourselves more than we hurt the person we are angry with

Anger is like picking up a burning coal with the intention of throwing it at the person we are angry with, the person who gets burned the most is ourselves. If we hold onto our anger for six months the hotter the coal becomes.

The chances are the person we are angry with is not even aware of the anger we are storing up in our mind against them. If we retain that anger in our thoughts then that person controls our mind. Anger eats away at your soul like a poison.

It has also been said that anger is like drinking poison hoping the other person dies, but poison does not work like that.

When you start to come to terms with the destructive force of anger; it leads you to search for an alternative solution and that is to forgive the person you are angry with.

In the spirit of searching for an inner peace

Cash will be fine, I am a bit short this week...


Anyway I can’t really teach anyone here about anger, the best person to teach you about anger is the person you are angry with. Letting go of anger is a practical thing. I was very lucky, I only lost £4 to the lady who unwittingly taught me to forgive.

Anger often forces us to react in ways we may later regret. I have two personal stories one is really trivial, however if I had not understood about anger in a trivial way I would not have understood how it could make the difference between life and death in my second experience.

Years ago I was a window cleaner and a lady asked me to clean her windows and could I come back Friday for the money. I called back and she said sorry but could you call back again next Friday. This went on for several months, one day I called and she was unloading a car full of shopping, she was almost laughing when she said she had spent all her money. I frequently used to go home after and be angry with my wife and children through no fault of theirs.

As time went by it seemed she was playing games, and I started feeling more angry, I thought of slashing her car tyres or super gluing her door locks because of the injustice. I can’t recall exactly how I changed but on the way to her house I had a change of heart and said to myself if she needs the money more than I do then I will cancel her debt and forgive her totally.

The moment I said this to myself it felt like a huge weight had been lifted and my anger disappeared. Afterwards I had time to reflect, it had taken me about a quarter of an hour to clean her windows, but I had wasted numerous hours chasing after fifteen minutes work. It did not stop there; I had spent hours of my time feeling anger and the need to take some kind of action. I had made my wife and kids miserable through no fault of their own.

All the time I spent with feelings of anger that woman controlled my thoughts and she did not know it. All this because I was not able to forgive; but rather preferred to live in anger as a matter of principle. I often saw the woman again and said hello to her but I never asked her for the money again, I had fully written of the debt and forgiven her

Ghandi said it is only the strong who can forgive, the weak hold onto their anger. I have to say that after forgiving this woman I was now in control of my own mind and did not have any feelings of hate towards her again. Years later and I am now so thankful this lady taught me how to forgive.

I will post the other story when i have time

In the spirit of saeeking an inner peace

Thats a nice story Eric... Reminds me of the quote..'Those who anger you, control you'
