Anger Management

Anger, seems to be the most important of all the emotions that has to be expressed out in a balanced way. Express it too early, you are tagged "Short Tempered". Express it too late, you cause more damage than a terrorist. The former makes people move around you with constant caution, who rely on your face for the signs of outburst and act accordingly. With the latter, you trip him off the first time, the face fools you with a decent smile. The innocent victims unknowingly gets comfortable with this smile and trips the same person off a couple of times more, until one fine day when they get shot point-blank; from the same face that smiled all these days. The recovery of the victims from the first kind is almost instantaneous, while it's with the second kind that leaves a deep crater on both sides.
On the positive side, this emotion in it's most balance form has pushed an individual in various forms- warriors, athletes, artists, etc., from the abyssal depths of defeat to dizzy heights of victory, etching their names in the pages of history, forever. Yet, the same anger has forced these very individuals to the other side of the fulcrum to take the most hasty decisions in a split second which would throw them again in the same pages of history, this time on those which nobody wish to turn back.
The Shaitan always rides on the waves of this emotion, New moon or Full moon, here the tides are always rising high. This new found sport has been pumping adrenaline in full doses but rarely being productive. There has not been a single "No surfing day" in the past few months as the Shaitan has almost been addicted to this sport. The catalysts for him can be anybody and anything. Shaitan has realized that he's been wasting valuable energy for the wrong reasons, but the "Shaitani" attitude refuses to leave him,no matter what.
