Frying the Seeds of Anger

I used to find it strange when people are angry. I used to be scared of drunken men as they behaved abnormally and I put this anger under the same category. My FIL had bad temper. Most of the times I couldn’t figure out why he was angry. He would behave strange, shouting loudly, his face would change and become red. He was also a very jovial person. Two distinct features. I was always confused not sure when he’ll laugh and when he will suddenly burst his anger. One day he was angry and shouting and I gathered some courage. I told him there was no reason for him to be angry and explained that it was not anyones fault. I was shocked as he started crying. “Oh my goodness, did I do something wrong ?” Was the first thing that came to me. But then I held him and let him cry. My MIL too was a witness and she remained silent. I never saw him angry after that and he had become a calm and contended person. My Pranaams to him. Yesterday was his 12th anniversary.
