Choosing Peace Over Anger

Making the choice of peace is a simple choice, which lies in the hands of
each one of us, at every moment right through the day, every day. A lot of
people would choose a world, the world out there, made of peace but spend
most of their time remaining peaceless in their own inner world, and then
in their next door world, i.e. in their personal interactions. *A lot of us
would prefer a life of peace and we try to shape up such a life, only to be
influenced by the old belief about how it's absolutely fine to get angry
once in a while, without which it's difficult to get things done.* We also
get influenced by those people around us who continue to get angry for the
shallowest of reasons. These people could be either at home, at the
workplace, in the friend circle, the world at large or people who do not
matter too much to us but whom we encounter every day - at the vegetable
market, on the highway, or even in the movies for that matter!Unaware of
the root causes of their anger, all these people around us will find a
thousand ways to justify it, and will keep continuing with the habit in
their lives. Their emotional un-clarity is so deep and addiction to the
emotion of anger is so powerful that they will probably laugh at the idea
that anger is a negative emotion and is form of weakness or suffering. They
will, on the other hand, say that peace is timidity and a form of weakness
or suffering. So, if you do *choose peace over anger* in your life then you
are also choosing to be in a state of power and becoming free from
suffering as a result. However, *after having made that choice, to
experience it in every moment of your life, it is necessary to rediscover
where your peace is located inside you, it's true nature or essence, how to
access it through meditation and finally how to use it or apply it in your
daily life.*
