dead. A doctor in order to find out the effect of anger, injected the blood of an angry man into a hare, you will be surprised, the hare died after sometime with a great suffering of pain. I request such angry people to be quiet, try to be silent and see that what they are going to perform is justified or not. I try to cool down such people by making them aware of the harmful effects of anger.
Death appears once in life but the messenger of death knocks at the door of life in the form of anger many times a day. I have heard, the God of death appears riding on a buffalo but in the form of anger he appears riding on a donkey at our doorstep and breaks our families, makes a quarrel between father and son, destroys wisdom of mother and daughter-in-law and makes distances between a customer and businessman. If it is examined religiously, it creates dangerous cuffs of evilsome deeds. One, who has taken an oath of not getting angry, enjoys a life of paradise during his lifetime. No power is able to make such person separate from his family and society. A person without anger is always in heaven, he can't be anywhere else. There will be no quarrel between any members of family. Such a happy and cheerful person need not perform any religious deeds for his salvation. He already enjoys a life like salvation.
Anger is the root cause of any ill will or breakings of family among other reasons of property and prosperity. Ignorance and insulting behaviour among brothers or family members create anger that leads them to separation.
Anger never appears alone. It has its family too. Ignorance is the mother of anger and ego its father. When ignorance and ego meet together, anger takes birth. Violence is wife of anger, hate its friend. It loves a lot to its two daughters condemn and complaints. It has mollycoddled much to its two sons named revenge and
