Description

Acharya Prashant explains that controlling anger or hurt at the moment they occur is nearly impossible, as the mind is already dominated by these emotions. He compares this to trying to jog during a heart attack; the time for prevention has passed. Instead of asking how to control anger after it arises, one must investigate why it arises in the first place. Anger is fundamentally the frustration of unmet expectations. We feel angry when things do not go according to our desires or when our personal expectations are belied.
