Beat Your Anger



Rabbi Charles Klein tells the story of nurse, Elizabeth Kenny, who developed a treatment for polio.  Kenny was asked how she always managed to maintain her cheery disposition.  Was she just born that way?
“Oh no, as a girl I often lost my temper.  But one day when I became angry at a friend for some trivial matter, my mother said to me:
“Elizabeth, anyone who angers you, conquers you.”
She never forgot those words.  With them, Kenny remade herself.  Can you?

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
