Never respond

October 7, 2014
 

"Never respond to an angry person with a fiery comeback, even if he deserves it…Don't allow his anger to become your anger." ~Bohdi Sanders

Winning gives birth to hostility.
Losing, one lies down in pain.
The calmed lie down with ease,
having set winning & losing aside.

Dhammapada, The Buddha

    Never? I say there is a time for self defence, if needed in equal intensity towards the aggressor. But that is only in Words. My pen is Mightier than the Sword.

    Namaste' Jen, Angry people's are not that angry they want to be LUV . Jealousy and Envy people's are the ones _ One should never respond to neither one of them . They have destroyed many relationship because they don' t want cohesiveness between Human Beings . There a time to never respond and There a time to respond not in Anger. LUV is not a Contest ! Peace Jen with respect to your post _ 1 LUV……..

    Anger is like a blind fold it clouds your ability to think clearly,so when in an anger rage,you aren't able to see all the hurt pain you may cause others/family, friends anyone, so you find yourself saying after calming (did I really say or do that) it's a wast of emotions…..

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
