Meaning of Angry

EQ stands for Emotional Quotient that means the ability of a person to control his or her emotions. The higher your EQ, the better you are at controlling your emotions.

Now, the question is, how to increase your EQ? Let me bring you a story. There’s a woman who finds it hard to control her emotion and she gets angry easily even thought sometimes she knows that it’s really her fault.

So, she went to a temple to find an old monk to talk about her problem. Without saying a word, the monk locked her up in a small room. The woman was very angry and scolded the monk, “Hey you dirty monk! How can you do like this to me? You’d better let me know.”

She scolded, barked and screamed for a long time but the monk just ignored her.

Then the woman changed her attitude. She used the begging method. She begged the monk to let her go but the monk just pretend not to hear her.

After a long while, the woman calmed down. Then the monk came to ask the woman.

“Are you angry?”

“Yes! I am angry of myself. Why I am so stupid to come and ask for suffering here?” cried the woman

The monk shook his head and replied, “The people who can’t forgive themselves can not find their happiness.”

After a while, the woman sighed and said, “I’m not angry anymore because it doesn’t worth it.”

Again, the old monk gave his witty reply.

“Still considering whether it worth it or not means that you have not let go the anger.”

The sky is now getting darker and the temple become quieter. Only the sound of insects can be heard.

This woman slowly immersed herself in the calmness of the temple. The old monk appeared and before he had a chance to spit out a word, the woman asked him.

“Would you please tell me the meaning of angry, master?”

“It means punishing yourself for other people’s mistakes” replied the master happily.

      You are so right, stress and anger are health hazards. Funnily, those who are (stressed and angry), are proud to be. But those who understand it, are happy to have moved beyond.
      PS. My favorite definition of anger, “Drinking poison in the hope someone else will die from it.” :-)

      WOW, Raymond.

      This is an eyeopener.

      “It means punishing yourself for other people’s mistakes” replied the master happily.”

      Good post

    3. Suraj on August 11, 2010 2:46 pm

      I have been working really hard on controlling my anger, and it’s true that most of it is about trying to control other people’s behavior. Something struck a chord in this article. Thanks.

    4. Debbie @ Happy Maker on August 11, 2010 3:49 pm

      I love the way people create there own problems and just can’t see what is happening to them. When it comes to anger I always try to find the humor first. When you react with humor in any given situtation you can always look back and have a nice memory.

      Hi Raymond,

      This is an interesting story and that’s true, without accepting yourself, it’s also going to be difficult for you to accept others. Everything starts from you! :)

      That’s also the reason why other successful people are still not happy with their lives — they would keep on looking at their loss while they have to just accept and appreciate what they have. That way, anger to oneself will be gone.

      Tyrone

    6. raymond on August 23, 2010 1:48 am

      You’re right Tyrone,

      Everything starts from ourselves.

    7. raymond on August 23, 2010 1:49 am

      Hi Debbie,

      Humor. That’s a great way to eliminate or at least to reduce anger.

    8. raymond on August 23, 2010 1:50 am

      Thanks Corrine. I love that definition too. :)

    9. raymond on August 23, 2010 1:51 am

      Hi Beat,

      Thanks for sharing your version of definition. I love that one. LOL

    10. lisa on August 27, 2010 4:00 pm

      Hi Raymond. What a great post! If I could change one thing in my life it would be to let go of anger. I am on vacation next week, and I am going to head to “curestressnaturally.” I am sure I will find it a big help.

      I am so glad you blog is back up and running. I really enjoy your posts!

    11. Blog Income for Women on August 28, 2010 3:59 am

      Controlling negative emotions might be the hardest and most essential thing to do in order to be aligned with the law of attraction.

      Thanks for this reminder.

    12. Michelle Vandepas on August 28, 2010 3:10 pm

      Raymond,
      There is a lot to thing about in this post…

      “It means punishing yourself for other people’s mistakes” ….. so, we are punishing ourselves when we are angry.

      It is so true, but we forget. When I’m angry it ‘feels right’.. but luckily I don’t stay angry very long, and can see it isn’t helping quickly… but I haven’t mastered the art of no anger ever.. That I’m working on!

    13. Amy LeForge on August 30, 2010 5:10 pm

      I like the story, Raymond! So often stopping anger means letting go of something else. If I let go of the idea that I deserve something or other, then I can let go the anger at not having it. You know? It often seems that letting go of that would be terribly painful, but then when you do it the anger subsides and life is so much better.

    14. Benjamin on August 31, 2010 7:11 pm

      Thank you, Raymond… this is a very powerful post.

      Self acceptance is an amazing place to be… we start to experience it by accepting ourselves one moment at a time. Each moment you practice, you can accept a little more.

      This is not possible of course, if the background noise of stress, fear, anger, etc. has not been recognized and accepted.

      For me, it often seems like layers upon layers… but the rewards of the journey are well worth it.

      keep smiling,

      Benjamin

      Great post. I have a bit of a problem with my anger. This is definitely a good way of looking at that anger. I am going to have to try to remember that next time I get angry about something. A lot of if it really is about punishing myself for other’s mistakes.

    16. sell used textbooks on September 2, 2010 1:23 pm

      anger can be very detrimental. The hardest thing about it, is to let it go. Anger does nothing but bring you down,

    17. holiday france on September 3, 2010 9:56 pm

      I was dumbfounded when I read the story as I thought some one was talking about me. I will definitely try to calm my self down the next time I get angry. Thank you for the lovely story.

    18. Recyclage Electronique on September 6, 2010 11:39 am

      Hi, i appreciate your definition. and i also like Tyrone’s comment . that was a nice story too my brother.

    19. raymond on September 7, 2010 4:50 am

      Thanks Lisa,

      I hope you have a great vacation. :)

    20. raymond on September 7, 2010 4:51 am

      Hi Michelle,

      I love your positive attitude to life. We’re all working on it to lead a much better life. :)

    21. raymond on September 7, 2010 5:08 am

      Hi Amy,

      I totally agree with you. That’s the price to pay for change.

    22. raymond on September 7, 2010 5:21 am

      Hi Benjamin,

      Thank you for adding in. That’s so true.

    23. Textbook Rental on September 7, 2010 10:22 pm

      Yeah I agree… Anger is not a good thing, when you can’t let go.

    25. Aluminum Carrying Cases on October 1, 2010 8:17 pm

      I have been reminding myself of this quote sometimes when I am angry. It is helping so far. It really puts things into perspective and acts as a reminder to not punish myself.

    26. sell used textbooks on October 7, 2010 5:37 pm

      This was awesome. I once heard that forgiveness is the best thing can do for yourself and the most selfish thing you can do. Took me a while to figure it out. Thanks

    27. sell used textbooks on October 7, 2010 5:48 pm

      too much energy is wasted on being angry. when a person forgives it is the most wonderful and selfish thing they can do. selfish since the anger and hatred only hurt the holder.

    28. raymond on October 10, 2010 5:37 am

      Hi Jeremy,

      That’s indeed a very powerful quote and it works for me too. :)

    29. Bohol Best Tours on October 14, 2010 8:01 am

      I need to control my anger because of the many unfortunate incidents in my life. If I get angry, I will be the loser instead.

    30. universal laws on October 31, 2010 6:58 am

      Hello Raymond,

      I really enjoyed while I was reading this story and it make me to think about some of my attitudes in my life. Thank you.

      If you permit me, I’d like to share it with my subscribers.

      An incredibly profound story. Anger is something it can be so difficult to let go of – sometimes we use it as a comfort blanket – if you hide yourself behind anger at others your hiding away from yourself.

    33. sell used textbooks on November 1, 2010 8:06 pm

      I have been working really hard on controlling my anger, and it’s true that most of it is about trying to control other people’s behavior.

    34. Aluminum Carrying Cases on November 1, 2010 9:21 pm

      Well I have been finding that this quote isn’t enough to prevent me from getting angry all the time. I still have very little patience for people. I’m thinking I might have to take further steps to deal with my anger.

    35. IndigoPapers on November 9, 2010 7:26 am

      Being able to work around one’s emotions is a powerful ability and tool. Amazing article. Keep up the work!

    36. James Townend on November 17, 2010 8:03 pm

      Being on feeling good frequency gives me great strength to be in a positive mood all the time – thank you for this great blog!

      Great post related to anger controlling ideas. Thank you for your great post! It has been very insightful. I hope that you will continue sharing your knowledge with us.

    38. Grants on November 21, 2010 6:09 pm

      I like the story, Raymond! So often stopping anger means letting go of something else. If I let go of the idea that I deserve something or other, then I can let go the anger at not having it. Totally appreciate hearing it!

    39. Grants on November 21, 2010 6:12 pm

      Anger is such a strange emotion. Do I try to forget about it? Not really.. I just do my best to control it at the time, find out why I’m so angry, and handle it that way. Thanks for the nice story, Raymond.

    40. Office Space Stockport on November 27, 2010 6:10 am

      Being angry is energy wastage so be calm as possible.

    41. green coffee on November 28, 2010 1:49 pm

      Great story. Becoming angry is a choice that you make, not something that other people make you do. It’s your decision whether to feel angry about something or not.

    42. raymond on December 10, 2010 3:52 am

      Hi green coffee,

      You’re right about that.

    43. Furniture on December 13, 2010 3:48 pm

      I used to really struggle with my anger/temper in the past, still do actually. However, over the years I’ve learned to channel and direct my anger towards more constructive activities and endeavors. And In think that is the key because anger will absolutely consume you if you let it. Find a constructive outlet that will allow you to release your anger in a beneficial way.

    44. dui san diego on December 14, 2010 9:51 am

      I think that’s right because some of us don’t know how to control our emotions. It’s natural for us to get angry if there’s a reason. Thanks for a useful article it really gives value to readers. Keep on posting.

    45. Search Engine Marketing Mumbai on December 14, 2010 10:17 am

      I still have very little patience for people. I’m thinking I might have to take further steps to deal with my anger.

    46. Komodo Dragons on December 16, 2010 1:33 pm

      That is a very good story. Managing and controlling our anger is very important to finding peace within ourselves. I myself have found it hard to let certain feelings and emotions go. This made the anger fester inside me until it resulted in a larger confrontation sometimes resulting in fights also. It’s best to try and channel it out in other ways altogether before it can build up inside you.

      very insightful story, learn how to cope with their anger is very important to many people

    51. raymond on April 24, 2011 6:30 am

      Hi Ksu,

      I agree with you.
      Anger management is a necessity.

      Mass entering an event horizon is stretched to infinite length, which suggests to me that atoms are broken down and converted to energy. This also suggest to me that a singularity is in reality a point not of mass, but of energy. Thus, energy under certain circumstance exerts gravity. Does anyone disagree?

    53. Baby Gates on May 30, 2011 6:29 pm

      Controlling our anger is always hard. An angry person often also often has so many emotions and feelings all at once… they can be sad, frustrated, scared, disappointed, which make the control of the emotions even more difficult.

    54. colocation on June 3, 2011 10:50 am

      I have tried not to get angry… Recently I found myself slipping not only when people try to take advantage but are downright mean in my opinion. I have made it daily habit to back on track for the law of attraction.

    55. raymond on June 3, 2011 12:54 pm

      Hi Edward,

      That’s a very good habit.

    56. ambalaj on June 10, 2011 11:18 am

      You are so right, stress and anger are health hazards.

    57. Komodo Dragons on June 10, 2011 12:11 pm

      I have found one habit that’s helped me deal with anger is to lower expectations. Just pretend that something you expect is not going to happen, such as a colleague not completing a work he or she was supposed to. This way, you are better braced for that and can tackle the problem with a calmer and less aggravated mind.

    58. divxim on June 11, 2011 10:52 pm

      Controlling negative emotions might be the hardest and most essential thing to do in order to be aligned with the law of attraction.

      Thanks for this reminder

    59. sectional garages on June 30, 2011 5:49 am

      I need to know the meaning of the word MAD when it means angry, not when it means crazy.Is it ok to say “I got mad” when someone made me angry?Is it ok to say “She is mad at me” when I want to say that “I annoyed her”?

    60. zhou merry on July 8, 2011 9:32 am
