Ability to forebear is a virtue. .. a moment of anger can destroy one’s lifetime of merits.
Spousal abuse, child abuse or drive-by shootings is a result of inability of people to control their emotions. If we want peace and order in our lives, we must put an end to our negative emotions.
Losing control over our emotions can lead to negative consequences that may change the course of history and profoundly impact the lives of many generations.
Enduring pain and hardship from insult and disgrace takes tremendous efforts to, but it is an act of courage and great confidence in your ability to forebear. It is NOT an act of cowardice. It takes strength, wisdom and compassion to resolve conflicts by reasoning and kindness.
However, we need to define our boundaries. We need to stand up for ourselves when others treat us badly or put us down. Often this requires bravery. We need to forego our feat and take a stance of our beliefs.
