Peaceful Vs Angry 😠😌

,

Introduction

Anger is a strong feeling that can happen when we’re frustrated, disappointed, or feel something isn’t fair. It’s normal to feel angry sometimes, but if we let anger control us, it can cause problems with our friends and family.

Learning how to handle anger in a calm way helps keep things peaceful and helps us understand each other better.

Help Dalpat at School

In school, Dalpat had a quick temper. Whenever things didn’t go his way, he would shout at his friends or throw his things. One day, during a game, his team lost, and he got so angry that he kicked the ball away and hurt a teammate.

His friend, Pankaj, said,

“Dalpat, your anger can hurt others. It’s okay to feel angry, but you need to control it.”

After that, Dalpat decided to work on his anger. He learned to take deep breaths and count to ten before reacting. The next time he felt angry, he took a moment to calm down instead of lashing out. His friends noticed the change and appreciated him more, making their bond stronger.

Help Deeksha at Home

At home, Deeksha often yelled when her younger brother made a mess or borrowed her things without asking. One day, after losing her temper, she realized her brother was scared of her.

Their mother explained,

“Anger can make us say things we don’t mean. Try to talk to him calmly instead.”

Deeksha took her mother’s advice and began to express her feelings without shouting. She learned to communicate what bothered her, and her brother started to listen and respect her space. Their relationship improved, and they became closer.

Reference from Panchatantra Stories

In the Panchatantra, there’s a story about a lion who let his anger control him. He roared at his friends and scared them away, thinking he would remain powerful. However, in his rage, he lost the support of his friends and became lonely. The moral teaches that uncontrolled anger can lead to isolation.

Thirukural Couplets

“Anger that is uncontrolled destroys the heart, while patience leads to peace and harmony.”
— Thirukural 141

  1. Recognize Triggers: Identify what makes you angry and find ways to avoid or handle those situations calmly.
  2. Take a Timeout: When you feel anger rising, step away for a moment to cool down before reacting.
  3. Express Calmly: Use “I” statements to express how you feel instead of blaming others, like “I feel upset when…” rather than “You always…”
