See Frustrations in Perspective
A basic reason we get angry is because we exaggerate the importance of things. When we realize that something is trivial and unimportant, we don't become angry. Whenever you feel angry about something, try to see how petty the matter is in the big picture. The vast majority of occurrences fall into this category. Keep in mind that we are in this world for a very short time, and the things that upset us are of minor importance in the entire scheme of the universe. Love Yehuda Lave speaking of perspective, here are two perspectives on tickets: Tickets: Jacob and Mindy Epstein just got married and moved into an apartment in New York City filling it with all of the precious items they received as wedding gifts. One day, they received in the mail two tickets for a popular show in the city, with a single line written on the envelope: "Guess who sent them." Jacob and Mindy assumed that it was a belated wedding present and while they enjoyed the show immensely, they spent the whole evening trying to figure out who the tickets were from. On their return home from the show, Jacob and Mindy were met with a disastrous sight: their apartment had been stripped of every one of their wedding presents, every article of value in the apartment. And on the bare table in the dining-room was a piece of paper on which was written a note on an envelope: "Now you know!" Speaking of tickets: Who Wants Tickets?
Chaim Yankel was doing some shopping in Manhattan and double parked his car on Broadway Street for a few minutes. When he exited the store he noticed a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket.
So Chaim Yankel approached him and said, "Come on buddy, how about giving a guy a break?" The traffic cop ignored Chaim Yankel and continued writing the ticket. So Chaim Yankel, who always struggled with his temper, called him a pencil necked shleimel. The traffic cop glared at Chaim Yankel and started writing another ticket for having a broken tail light!! So Chaim Yankel called him a chazzer. The traffic cop then started writing a third ticket! This went on for about 20 minutes – the more Chaim Yankel abused him, the more tickets he wrote. After a while, the cop said, "Buddy, why don't you just stop? You see that every time you open your mouth, I write you another ticket." "I don't care," said Chaim Yankel casually. "No?" said the cop. "Not at all," replied Chaim Yankel. "My car is parked around the corner." |
