Patience
The chapter of patience deals with anger and how we can manage to control our emotions and stop anger before it increases to anger. The text claims, "there is no fault as serious as anger. (52)" Anger brings down our emotions, changes our facial expression, and unbalances our lives. Being in this state of mind can seriously affect how we see our everyday life and also burden those around us. By learning to control our anger we can not only benefit ourselves but also others. If we are able to harness and control our emotional level, then we will be able to reduce the anger through the act of being patient. Does meditating and learning to be more tolerable of certain actions eliminate anger? Most certainly not, but taking actions to reduce our anger can only benefit us.
