Question: “How to overcome impulsive feelings, like anger, and how to increase tolerance?”.
Acharya Prashant: Why do you want to overcome anger? Why do you want to overcome anger?
L: Because you are insufficient and you feel incomplete.
AP: That looks like an academic explanation. When you say you don’t want anger, why don’t you want it?
L: That is not my nature.
AP: Is that so? After, a bout of anger, after an upsurge of anger, after a violent episode of anger, you say, “I shouldn’t have done this. I shouldn’t have been angry.” Why exactly do you say that? Go into it. Go into such moments when this might have happened. Why do you regret being angry?
L: Because it caused me a certain loss.
