“Nothing clutters thought like an access of anger.” It is not only tranquility that is lost, but the construction of long efforts, of long improvement that materializes into a seemingly stable state, collapses entirely and abruptly. It is mental progress that returns to square one. From this, it is repeating the whole process. Buddhists assure us that a lifetime of meditation is lost in one of these impulses. If it is not so, it is certain to spoil before and after. Oh, sadness! Oh, the urge to cry!
Anger, Anger…
