True. Thanks.
Ultimately the point is to make yourself anger free - so I think what my relgion advocates is pretty good.. actually I think all the religions advocate that. That is the whole purpose of it.. I think relgion was meant as a form of mass therapy intiially - to give general guidelines, and support to people and way of living, advocate goodness etc. And now I see how individually reaching out and healing people one by one is practically impossible. People who really need therapy are perhaps the ones who cannot afford it. And I think having some relgious basic helps a lot of people who cannot have the time and effort required for therapy. I have found that one single concept of karma makes me more at peace with things when they go bad than anything.
