We can recognise fear and anger ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro
We can recognise fear and anger as normal reactions to aggression, without lashing out wildly in order to make those feelings go away. We cannot expect too much from this world. As long as foolish immature people can find justification for their actions in philosophies and religious texts, there will never be true peace.
What we can do is to cultivate a boundless compassion accompanied by a wisdom that is calm, cool and alert. The wisdom we need to deal with complex problems comes from clarity of mind, not outraged emotion.
The Buddha taught us that hatred is never overcome by hatred. If we hate those that hate us then we too become haters, no better than them. All that results is that the total amount of hatred in the world increases.
