It is not that i do not get angry. i don't give vent to my anger. i cultivate the quality of patience as angerlessness, and generally speaking, i succeed. but i only control my anger when it comes. how i find it possible to control it would be a useless question, for it is a habit that everyone must cultivate and must succeed in forming by constant practice.

It Is Not That I Do Not

The way anything is developed is through practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice practice and more practice.
Practice Way
Quality doesn't mean deep blacks and whatever tonal range. that's not quality, that's a kind of quality. the pictures of robert frank might strike someone as being sloppy-the tone range isn't right and things like that-but they're far superior to the pictures of ansel adams with regard to quality, because the quality of ansel adams, if i may say so, is essentially the quality of a postcard. but the quality of robert frank is a quality that has something to do with what he's doing, what his mind is. it's not balancing out the sky to the sand and so forth. it's got to do with intention.
Photography Mean Sky
Anger cannot be overcome by anger. if someone is angry with you, and you show anger in return, the result is a disaster. on the other hand, if you control your anger and show its opposite - love, compassion, tolerance and patience - not only will you remain peaceful, but the other person's anger will also diminish.
Compassion Hands Opposites
It was hard to become an astronaut. not anywhere near as much physical training as people imagine, but a lot of mental training, a lot of learning. you have to learn everything there is to know about the space shuttle and everything you are going to be doing, and everything you need to know if something goes wrong, and then once you have learned it all, you have to practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice until everything is second nature, so it's a very, very difficult training, and it takes years.

We've all felt anger. it can come when things don't turn out the way we want. it might be a reaction to something which is said of us or to us. we may experience it when people don't behave the way we want them to behave. perhaps it comes when we have to wait for something longer than we expected. we might feel angry when others can't see things from our perspective. there seem to be countless possible reasons for anger….if we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry.
