There’s a moment—right before anger takes over—where you still have a choice. It’s fleeting, almost imperceptible, but it’s there. A space between what happens to you and how you respond. And in that space lies everything: your peace, your clarity, your future. But more often than not, we don’t see the space. We skip right past it and dive headfirst into the storm, convinced that our anger is justified, necessary, even righteous. Only to wake up later with a sense of regret, wondering if winning the moment was worth losing ourselves. And if there’s one thing the Gita makes clear, it’s this: anger doesn’t just destroy peace. It destroys wisdom.
