He Who Angers You, Controls You

He Who Angers You, Controls You

Is it really true that he who angers you, controls you? In my humble opinion, I agree with this quote. Surely what comes to our mind when we read  this are the people who have offended us. And many of us have changed after such a hurtful experience. But in some cases mostly unknown to us is that we are angry at poverty. This is what I would like to address because this anger is not readily seen. It controls our lives silently. How many Filipinos leave their families to work abroad for one to two years? Millions. The risk to breaking families and relationships are welcomed by us Filipinos. This is the sign that it controls us because we are mad at poverty.
