Our tipping point

Why do people end their lives so abruptly  or do stupid things like killing people ? Some of the actions is beyond logic or basic understanding.  If only we know the source of the stress and neutralize it before it reaches the tipping point , we are safe. The tipping point also applies to the management of our health. Why do people suffer strokes or go crazy ? The pressure or the emotions have exceeded the tipping point.

If we are angry and we keep focusing on the anger, it will create a lot of different thoughts or propositions which is unreal and fake.  Our imaginations will run wild and we keep agitating our mind  and this creates more agitating thoughts. The more we try to kill the thoughts , the thoughts seems coming back stronger and stronger. It is like boiling a pot of water, once it reaches its boiling point, the water will spill out if we continue to boil it. If we choose not to kill the fire, the water in the pot will go dry and the whole pot will burn until it crack.This is the tipping point which I am trying to tell you. If it reaches its boiling point, if we add water, it will cool down and it will again reach its boiling point again.  To extend it further, if the pot is dry and we add in water before it gets over heated, the pot will not crack.

This is the same logic applying the management of the tipping point. If our anger is left uncontrolled, the anger will be stronger and run wild and just the water, it will reach a tipping point and becomes uncontrollable and illogical.  The outcome of exceeding the tipping point is unknown and can be disastrous. A timely intervention like adding water will cool the mind and prevent it from overheating. The temporary loss of sanity is where strange things happen.

So, if we know the working of our anger and our mind, we have to learn to kill the anger or the troubling thoughts at its early stage.  There are many ways to control our anger and mind. We have to learn and understand how our mind works and how it can control our anger or our emotions.  Have a clear and wise understanding of life and its  various religious philosophy . Finally, it is up to you to control it. You can kill the fire before the fire kills you.

Namaste.
