Sitting in Starbucks, shirly & I was just discussing about karmic effect when we witnessed one man threw away his cup of drink right after collection over the counter. Grouchily he stomped around the cafe for a seat and demanded a fresh cup to be served. “He probably had a bad day this morning.”  And this is how he passed his anger to another person. The staff can decide to cut the anger line and everything stops there; or otherwise he would pass off to another person and the cycle moves on.

Yes, probably the drink was below standard- we can just note the staff and request for a fresh cup; without the throwing into the bin with a face filled with deep facial lines. Do you know, that our facial lines tell quite a bit on ourselves?

Look into the mirror, keep you face relax and natural.

Observe your facial lines- are they obvious around the forehead, side of the eyes, puffy lower eyes, in between the eyebrows or around the lips?

 Look out for your facial muscles- are they drooping south or uplifting and tight. Do you carry a happy, sorrowful or angry face when in a relax state?

Smile is probably the best cosmetic make-up we can apply. Anger is probably the best vandalism we can do. An angry person does not have to speak much, because all is written on the face.  But angry people usually lose ones’ mind and express it freely--- shouting competition, banging and throwing, beating, fighting and killing.

People express anger, in fact, they are asking for help--- but don't know how to and express it inappropriately, all to pamper that inflated ego in them. They expand their anger, and when others are afraid and kowtows to them, wow… that’s superior “I feel like a king!”

Sometimes, getting angry with another person is one of the easier method get things done your own way. If you love to get angry, then you must also love getting high-blood pressure that leads to potential strokes, heart problem, lungs congestion, insomnia, multiplying cancer cells…. and vandalizing your face.

Is anger all so bad? Of course not! I do get angry too…arrggg!

We’re human, and emotion fluctuation is part of us--- and we learn. Love the anger arises in us, observe and do nothing. It’ll go. Anger is a good teacher to teach us how to manage our emotion. It gives us opportunity to practice patience on both ourselves and others. It tells us that we need to be humble to learn--- when we need help; we don't have to shout across, just ask.

And in all, anger does make us a better person. Paradox isn't it?
