One day a busy husband in office got call from his wife..
Wife: Hey..
Hubby: tell me quickly!!
Wife: Had lunch? How is curry?
Hubby: (angrily..) Do you think I am sitting idle like you to discuss these things... I am rushing through important presentation for the evening, you are such a fool to c...
..(Wife immediately hung up on him)
The husband felt guilty but ran through the presentation, however, he could not do well before client due to the disturbed mind which invited a warning letter from his boss..
Further to pacify his wife, he had to purchase an expensive gift while returning home..
It would have been simpler & happier day for him:
- If he had let go his anger and simply said "I am busy. Shall I call u back please"to her.
- If he had let go his ego and said "sorry" to her before presentation to clear the disturbance in his mind
- Atleast If he could let go the disturbance in his mind before the presentation
If he could let go the negative emotions, there would be a simpler & happier day for his wife, client, boss and finally for himself..
Controll of emotions such as greedy, anger, ego, etc.. is the basic thing needed for a simpler and happier life :)
