Sergio Sette Camara is one of the best personalities we have in the FE grid, but people just don't pay enough attention to this man and I can't understand why.
Look how happy he is in this interview! 🥰

Anger arises because you believe that you are right. If you don't want to be at the mercy of anger, think calmly about whether what you believe is right is really so.
You tend to get angry because you have a strange belief that if you get angry, you can manage. If you are calm, you will see that no amount of shouting will make them shrivel up or rebel.
If there is any efficacy in the act of anger, there is only one.
All it does is radically point out that "the problem is here." However, if you get angry and pointing out the problem, the other party will never be convinced. Nor will the problem be solved.
Even that 'right thing' that you believe in is ambiguous and constantly changing. If you know that, you may lose your temper temporarily, but you will not become so furious.
Assuming that "what you say is right in every case" is the emotion furthest removed from Buddhism. That is why Buddhism very much disapproves of the act of 'getting angry'. It is one of the three poisons (greed, anger and stupidity) that cause suffering and prevent enlightenment.
When you think "Oh, I'm getting angry again", it's worth considering that there is room for an immediate reassessment to see if this is really the case.
Incidentally, to defuse immediate anger, it is recommended to physically move away from the person who is the object of your anger. It is also effective to sit directly on the floor instead of standing (much more effective than sitting on a chair).

A pair of statues, one open-mouthed and the other closed-mouthed, are often placed at the front gate of temples. When they are placed at the gate of a temple, are known as ‘Niō’.
