Acharya Prashant: Latha is saying, why does she get angry so often even over small matters? Especially with some people, she is unable to control anger and she says she tried to change her attitude but hasn’t been quite successful. She is saying, now, how to change myself. Because anger causes health issues. So, you already know that you are not angry over the people you express your anger on. You are not too concerned about the things that you are making an issue of. Look at your statement. “ I get angry over small things. “ So you know that those things are small. You know that those things are not worth getting angry over. So, obviously your anger has to do with something else.
You know what? There is one big fat bully in the adjacent room, Latha! And when I was coming to this side, he caught me and held me by the neck and abused me and punched me. And I couldn’t do anything. He was 6 feet six inches and 120 kilograms, twice as broad as me. And I think he also had a gun. What could I do? Nothing. So even as I was bullied, I just stayed silent. I kept on feeling humiliated and small and vengeful. But said nothing because saying anything meant danger. So I somehow escaped from there and came into this room. And now, I have you all.
And now what do I do?
(Addressing the listeners)
You, Latha! How dare you wear pink. Pink is a privated colour. Have you no common sense? Wearing pink. Shouldn’t I just throw this water on your face? Don’t ever wear pink again.
