For those of us who still get angry- count EVERYBODY- we can do a technique to break the identification with the mind. Watch your anger, but be clear about one thing. If we have to reply to the person who has insulted us, do so when the anger is gone; don't even think of answering before that moment or time.
It will seem almost impossible, because anger comes so fast and often goes so quickly. We unconsciously think that we can unburden ourselves and that if we release the anger it will go AND it can but then you have dumped it on someone else and they will retaliate.
Far better to be very alert and on your guard, then gradually it will become easy. The criterion is to button your lips and shut up for as long as the anger lasts; answer only after the anger has long gone.
You know these forums are absolutely fantastic places to experiment with your consciousness because you don't really think you're going to meet everybody who takes a shot at you do you? You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by being alert, conscious and watchful.
Use them and what they say to you for your own growth and use the fact that they have possibly hurt you, taken you the wrong way, insulted you, VERY cleverly of course, or even just called you an idiot. Use their often subtle insults and innuendos to grow as a person as I do.
If I have taken trouble to write something from my heart and some person takes a shot at me, firstly I ask myself where they are coming from, how intelligent they are or how wounded they are, how successful or otherwise and much more importantly, how fulfilled they are.
Whoever has pressed our buttons has become our master for the day and will show us more about ourselves than the many compliments we may give each other.
After you've done it with anger, try another emotion under different circumstances.
"The right answer can only come in serene moments. To answer in anger is as good as answering under the influence of alcohol. " Osho
