Controlling Anger
غصے پر قابو
الْحِدَّةُ ضَرْبٌ مِنَ الْجُنُونِ، لِأَنَّ صَاحِبَهَا يَنْدَمُ، فَإِنْ لَمْ يَنْدَمْ فَجُنُونُهُ مُسْتَحْكِمٌ.
تیزی (غصہ) جنون کی ایک قسم ہے، کیونکہ غصہ کرنے والا (بعد میں) پشیمان ہوتا ہے، اور اگر وہ پشیمان نہ ہو تو اس کا جنون پختہ ہو چکا ہے۔
“Acute anger is a kind of madness, because the person who experiences it usually feels regret; if he does not feel regret, then his madness is deep-rooted.”
Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ provides a profound psychological definition of **Anger**. He explains that the hallmark of a sane person is the ability to reflect on their actions. Anger is “temporary madness” because it bypasses the intellect. If a person regrets their rage, it means their reason has returned. However, if they justify their outburst and feel no remorse, they have moved from a temporary lapse to a permanent state of intellectual imbalance.
