As I was studying in the temple my master asked “my child, why are you angry“. I bowed my head “I tried to leave my anger at the door, but it seems to have followed me in.”
My wise master led me to the door “Go outside and try to leave just a little of your anger behind before you return.”
I walked out and took a deep breath, as I walked back my Master spoke *“Anger only hurts you, it does not harm the other person.” Then he leaned in and whispered “and if you can leave it all behind, the bastard doesn‘t win.”
*Alternative ending: “Have you left some of your anger behind?”
“Yes, Master”
“Good. Now repeat until you have left it all behind.”
