Anyone Gripped by Anger Ends Up Sinning
기원전 4세기~기원후 4세기경 서사시 전승(라마야나 계열)
ORIGINAL
क्रुद्धः पापं न कुर्यात्कः क्रुद्धो हन्याद्गुरूनपि । क्रुद्धः परुषया वाचा नरः साधूनधिक्षिपेत् ॥ (kruddhaḥ pāpaṃ na kuryāt kaḥ kruddho hanyād gurūn api, kruddhaḥ paruṣayā vācā naraḥ sādhūn adhikṣipet)
📜 THE VERSE
Who, gripped by anger, does not commit some wrong? The angry are capable of striking even their own teachers, and of insulting even the good with harsh words.
💡 TL;DR
Anger instantly erases our usual judgment and respect.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
The last time I was angry, did I say or do something I would never do otherwise?
📝Reflection
Anger instantly erases our usual judgment and respect. In that moment, neither teacher nor friend is visible to us. What makes this verse alarming is its extreme example — if even the person we respect most can be harmed, then no relationship is safe in the face of anger. The moment anger surges, then, is precisely the moment we must be most careful.
