Forget anger toward all who have offended you,
For from anger springs a multitude of wrongs.
The face's smile and the heart's joy are slain by anger.
Does there exist a greater enemy than one's own anger?
-Tirukkural 31: 303-304
Makes a lot of sense to me....
I got this via e-mail..i subscribe to chicken soup for the soul (via beliefnet) and get a lot of other related mails ...prayer for the day, that is not restricted to any particular religion, each day i get to read a prayer said in a different religion....very interesting and insightful..it is nice to venture to intrepret religions other than one's own....

hey Mr.T is right....forget ur anger but never the person who offended u !!
nice....
prayers ?!?.....thank u very much !
anger-unnecessary anger is not good but some amount should be there I guess.
huh i guess phobiac has got it twisted... correct me if am wrong..
@ Monu -- yet again a nice post.. i (guess many others) can relate to it so much ... but controlling that anger requires a great deal of love (to thy and to others)..... and ironically its with people whom you love more the same anger bursts out more ....
i like the thought, nan chicken soup ellam padikaiarhu illai, yean na nan sutha saivam, mamesam ellam sapada matten!
Good thathuvam
If ever there was a sign, this is it.
I was in such a rage this morning and looks like this Tirukkural was written for me.
Thank you.

Monu , even i subscribe to the Chicken soup for the soul.
Anger....
Its very hard to control, but once you are in control of it, you are a different person.

mayb finding the real cause of anger is a better way than to supressing it.
Phobiac : Anubhavi raja anubhavi , while it lasts
