It is difficult to blame someone for discomfort and ill-feelings caused by his or her own anger, jealousy and ignorance. Every day, we all go through different levels of stress and worries which make us very sensitive to our surroundings and to even the smallest things. In such situations, instead of reacting forcefully, we have to step back and take a deep breath and try to find wise and meaningful responses. Whatever we try to say through emotions will not lead to true solutions, but, will only create more confusion and anger. Therefore, patience, right effort, and listening to wise advice may help bring about a meaningful solution.
