Sharing hints
P. Kolandasamy, Puducherry.
This
morning I browsed internet(https://www.quora.com/
Anubav Jain ) for an academic purpose & found relevant mental health hints entitled “ Remain
calm and collected during a heated argument” as available in ThirukuRaL, for control of
emotion, as stated below :
·
Focus
on resolution, your peace of mind, your day, and your goals. Your peace is
above people's mismanaged ego and pending frustration.
·
Don't
consider the other person superior or inferior; both bring your ego into
play. Treat them like an immature kid; you need to handle them and not fight.
Remember, aging doesn't bring adulthood; most people in the market are
overgrown kids, pity them, manage them, and don't get angry.
·
Answer
people’s doubts and questions, communicate your thoughts well, and your
communication stands complete; beyond this nothing productive would happen. React
to people’s thoughts and intentions and not emotions.
·
The
moment an argument takes a heated turn, stop speaking and make it clear that
you aren't up for a fight. If you both can handle it maturely, the discussion
can continue, or you would walk away. Be clear that you don't want a fight.
·
Realize
that not having control on one's thoughts and behavior is a mental weakness and
lack of self-control. It's not something to be proud of; they failed the test,
and you don't need to stoop to their grades.
·
Empathize
with the other persons, realize their loss, the reason for their emotions, that
otherwise, they aren't a devil but an ordinary human like you. A true winner
is a person who calms the other person down and does not ignite a fight.
Also, maintain clear boundaries; once your moral boundaries are breached, do no
further discussions, walk away, or take action, and action doesn't mean falling
at their level, something that keeps them away from you.
