Controlling The High Raising Anger Is The Excellent Character! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Controlling The High Raising Anger Is The Excellent Character!



The quality of controlling the high raising anger
which subjects the entire mind in its possession
is said to be the character excellence for any one!

Is it difficult to control the oncoming floods?
Or is it difficult to control the gushy flow of water
from the tank where the bank breaks, tell me!

A Great poem from Tamil Literature, thanks for translating and sharing with us.....It is very true said though controlling anger is excellent character, but it is not possible as, it will be same like controlling flood.
