There is a lot of anger and resentment between teachers and young people, which is unproductive–it doesn’t help things. How can I deal with this anger better?
I can learn to stay peaceful inside and share that feeling with young people, so that they can free themselves from their own anger. If someone throws something at me, like an insult or an angry comment, I can just let it drop and leave it lying there. By not picking up another person’s anger, I protect myself and at the same time give them the chance to take it back.
To be angry is to be out of control, and so, someone who is angry deserves our love and compassion more than ever. By staying in my own peace and patience and keeping my self-respect, I help others to do the same. By seeing people’s good qualities, I empower both myself and them. This is true generosity.
