Anger – a way to come out of guilt🔗

Why do we see that when we get angry, the guilt reduces? The moment you express your anger, your guilt also is released. Actually, anger and guilt are two sides of the same coin. The moment you become angry with the person who created guilt in you, you come out of guilt. If you create guilt based on somebody's opinion, how do you create it? It is based on the respect you have for that person. The moment you become angry naturally the respect is lost. You understand you have been exploited and disturbed.

One more thing, even that person will not know he is exploiting you. One more incident: one American boy was brought to me with a complaint. Mother said, 'My son is not obeying my words. Please advise him.' I felt a little awkward. I myself never obeyed my mother. How can I advise him to obey? The boy looked very intelligent. Somehow, the mother was pestering me. I had no other way.

So, I started talking to him; 'Why don't you obey your mom? She even made me obey her. Why don't you obey her?' Suddenly he asked, 'She herself is not happy. If I follow her words, where will I end up? I will also end up in the same way. Why are you asking me to obey her? Why are you asking me to listen to her?'

I was shocked. Somehow, I managed to convince him. I think the next generation kids are going to sue their mother or father if they fall into depression. They will say, 'These guys didn't give me the correct mental setup. That is why now I am very depressed.'
