What Should I Do When I Feel Anger Arising

 

You must use loving-kindness. When angry states of mind arise balance them by developing feelings of loving-kindness. If someone does something bad or gets angry, don't get angry yourself. If you do, you are being more ignorant than they. Be wise. Keep in mind compassion, for that person is suffering. Fill your mind with loving-kindness as if he were a dear brother. Concentrate on the feeling of l...oving-kindness as a meditation subject. Spread it to all beings in the world. Only through loving-kindness is hatred overcome.

You can't possibly make everyone act as you wish or be like you. This wish will only make you suffer. Simply examine yourself, your feelings. This is how you will understand.
