They say, “Getting angry is punishing yourself for someone else’s mistake.”

In reality, it’s rare for anyone to never get angry and always keep a good temper.

Everyone has their limits, and not getting angry just means they haven’t reached their limit yet.

But really, what’s the point of getting angry? It doesn’t benefit you at all, only makes others happy, harms your health, and affects your mood and life.

So, in the rest of your life, don’t let those who anger you have it easy.

We should all understand one thing: Being resilient is always more beautiful than being angry.

If someone wants to deliberately make you angry and ruin your good mood, then what you should do is the opposite.

The more they try to anger you, the less you should get angry. Instead, live well. That’s the best way to fight back. When they see you doing well, those who tried to anger you won’t feel good, and in the end, it’s them who will be angry.

My aunt, who was very beautiful when she was young, later married her husband who treated her well. The neighbors felt unfair seeing this and would gossip behind her back, saying, “We are all women, why does she live so comfortably without having to work as hard as us?”

Slowly, my aunt was marginalized by those around her, and few people were willing to associate with her. In the end, the people around her were just envious and jealous.

Later, my aunt had two daughters, which made those around her even more upset. They still had the mindset of favoring boys over girls and liked to gossip about my aunt.

At first, my aunt would get angry when she heard others gossiping about her, but her husband would always remind her that she was living her own life, so why care about what others said?

As my aunt’s daughters grew up and had good marriages, being filial to them, the people around my aunt became even more upset. They looked at their own disobedient sons and ended up being the ones angry.

Life is short, and the most important thing is to satisfy yourself, not to please others.

If you get angry when you hear gossip and then try to please others just to prevent them from gossiping, in the end, you’ll be the one suffering. Why bother?

Instead, let the gossip go in one ear and out the other, live your life well, and don’t care about others’ opinions. As long as you live comfortably, it’s those who try to anger you who won’t end up well.

Life is short, so why live under others’ judgment and care about their opinions all the time?

Hayao Miyazaki once said, “People often deceive you to make you realize that sometimes, the only person you should believe in is yourself.”

Those who anger you want to make you upset, lead a negative life, and prevent you from living well. If you get angry, it means they’ve succeeded, and in the end, they will be the ones laughing at you.

As long as you understand this, I think there’s nothing worth getting angry about.

I once saw a scene where a man was drinking and chatting with friends. His wife called, complaining why he hadn’t come home yet.

After the call, the man said to his friends, “It’s late, I should go home. You guys continue drinking.”

His friends teased him:

“It’s only one o’clock, why leave? Afraid your wife will get angry?”

“Are you not a man? Afraid of a woman?”

“Don’t be a wimp, keep drinking. Let’s see what your wife can do.”

On one side were his friends, on the other his wife. Luckily, the man was wise. Despite his friends’ teasing, he chose to go home.

If they are true friends, they won’t let a meal affect a friend’s family in any way.

Only those who don’t care about you, are indifferent to you, or even want to anger you and make fun of you will make you neglect your family.

If you are doing poorly, they will console you to your face but laugh at you behind your back. If you are doing well, they will be jealous and try to ruin your happiness.

In the rest of your life, remember: Don’t let those waiting to laugh at you have their way. Getting angry is like drinking poison and hoping someone else will suffer.

Yet, the truth is the opposite. When you get angry, others will never suffer, they will only be happier.

When you can’t control your emotions, when you’re angry, count to ten before speaking, and if you’re very angry, count to a hundred.

Remember, a person is at their ugliest when angry.

As long as you learn to control your emotions reasonably, not getting angry easily, it won’t affect your life.

For those who deliberately try to anger you, not getting angry is the best way to fight back.

In the rest of your life, remember: Don’t let those who anger you have it easy.
