the curse of anger

Humans *do* make mistakes. We all of us do. It's a part of our natural problem-solving process of trial and error in this life. So, mistakes are not the curse!!! Mistakes are actually "the pathway to solutions" for all human people. The "curse of anger" that some of us may have is if we focus on other people's mistakes when we get angry, and lose sight of our own. This is the real "curse."

Having the humility to quickly recognize one's own mistakes (without justification or guilt)--instead of becoming blindly preoccupied with the mistakes of others--is a very powerful tool for an awakening warrior. It is like "becoming free of the curse" that fore-ordains so much uptightness and misery in so many of our lives as householders, and so much inflicted pain and suffering, too, upon humanity at large.
