Anger is the key to delusion. By controlling our perceptions we are able to lessen our attachments, and ultimately, we are able to destroy our personality.
-
Attachments are developed by constant focus of our thoughts on a particular object. By detaching from that object, i.e. thinking less of it, or better, by giving everything equal importance, we are able to effectively live peacefully.
-
By gradually giving up attachments to objects, then to the body, and eventually the mind we are able to rise from the tendencies of the ego.
-
Attachments drive and strengthen the ego and veil our true nature and ability to discriminate between right and wrong. We react instead of act.

Live in the now! This will culture more patience, knowledge, and wisdom
-
The same object can result in different reactions. The goal is to turn our perceptions of the same object from the negative to the positive (peace, harmony, calmness). This begins by being aware of the perception and giving up reaction.
-
The perception of control is the stem of route of control. When we loose control, anxiety, regrets and anger develop. Since the nature of the universe is to be in a state of change, control is not possible: Life is 10% what you make it, 90% what you take it
-
Anger generates delusion and delusion results in loss of memory. Loss of memory brings about the destruction of discriminative intelligence, and loss of discriminative intelligence spells ruin to a man - Srimad Bhagavad Gita Verse 63, Chapter 2
