Self-control is vital

There's no doubt about it, there are a whole lot of very angry people, whom I personally have observed, who appear to have no self-control whatsoever. These kinds of hot-tempered people just appear to fly off the handle for no apparent reason thus getting embroiled in argument after argument with one and all, with many of the verbal arguments leading to actual physical altercations.
Actually, now that I reflect further on it, we can observe this kind of out of control behavior just about every day as we drive in our automobiles along the highways. As we all know only too well we refer to these out of control episodes as road rage that once again far too often end up in tragedy. Yes, there's absolutely no doubt about it, there are far too many out of control people walking around our cities and towns today ready to explode, and more's the pity.
So, why is this, do you think? After all, if we wish to correct any type of incorrect behavior, we need first and foremost to get to the root cause of the problem. Well, I believe, that there are two major causes of being out of control, having no semblance of self-control. The number one reason is low self-esteem resulting in a whole lot of inner anger being stored up within, which keeps on exploding over very minor incidents, in so many cases.
So, my friend, if your level of self-control appears to be almost non-existent as you all too frequently appear to be flying off the handle, so to speak due to a lack of self-control, I respectfully suggest, that professional counseling sounds like something which you should seek without further delay.
The second cause of so much violence occurring throughout society as a result of a lack of self-control is the ridiculous amount of violent programming which people are subjected to today labeled as entertainment. That's right, there is so much violence observed on T.V., at the movies, why even in the so-called games which young people are exposed to on their various devices which they have today, supposedly for entertainment purposes.
So, in conclusion, self-control is vital if one wishes to move forward and succeed in life. I once again suggest daily meditation for all young and not so young people that will believe me, cultivate a very peaceful mindset, which will be invaluable throughout our entire life.
