Kindle Notes & Highlights
Usually when we are angry with someone we are more interested in fighting with them than in taking care of our own feelings. It’s like someone whose house is on fire running after the person who has set fire to their house instead of going home to put out the flames.
To try to run away from suffering is not wise. To stay with it, to look deeply into it, and to make good use of it, is what we should do.
Killing anger removes suffering and brings peace and happiness.” We “kill” our anger by smiling to it, holding it gently, looking deeply to understand its roots and transforming it with understanding and compassion.
