All the wars, family squabbles and tragedies, hatred, falling-off with friends, etc originate from Anger. Anger destroys all the goodness we have built with others. It brings arguments, fights, and even killings. Nothing arms us more than Anger. Look at the Anger in Kenya that resulted from the presidential elections. Look at the Anger of the LRA that brought sufferrings to millions in Uganda. When mythical Gipir and Labongo of the Luo parted company it was anger for a simple bead of one brother and loss of a spear of another.
So, what is man to do? Recognizing that it is a trait we are born with, it can be unlearned and replaced with Patience. By renouncing anger and practicing patience, over time, we may reach a time when anger is no longer controlling--that is maturity and true wisdom.
