One of the benefits of frequent meditation is the calmness of the mind. Focused. Aware. Mindful. In this state, you have a greater control of your actions, speech and thoughts. People who are quick to anger will be able to sense when they are about to blow, and control it.
I could sense my blood pressure hitting the ceiling. I still had a split second to think on it. A split second to change the course of action. In that split second, I decided to make a stand. There is only so much abuse I will take! SLAM! I raised my voice in a very heated argument with the boss. He was talking to me in a sarcastic, insulting and accusatory tone. The details are best left unsaid.
Unfortunately, I am notorious as someone who goes against authority, not because I like to, but because of this deep sense of righteousness. Ain't gonna stand back and let injustice rule! But it's really ill-advised to do so. The calm and wise would hold back and find the proper opportunity to make a difference. Rushing blindly only hurts yourself.
In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have done that. Oh well! The next best thing is to assert an even greater control over emotion and turn that split-second into a few seconds! Maybe then I can remain even calmer and make a real difference!
