The Irritable Man

  1. A man was chatting with some people.

  2. A friend of mine was a good man except for two faults.
  3. ?!!
  4. Firstly, he easily lose his temper.
    And secondly, he always acts rashly.
  5. His friend heard the conversation while walking pass the door…
  6. Bang!
  7. Po!
  8. Who says I’m bad-tempered and rash? You ought to be taught a lesson!
  9. You’ve just displayed your quick temper attitude. Do you still deny it?

Explanation:

People, who are addicted to drinking and other debaucheries, when admonished by others, strongly hate their critics in turn. Moreover, they try desperately to justify themselves by bringing forward all sorts of excuses. Those men are just like that stupid man who disliked hearing about his faults discussed. Similarly, the Buddha says those ignorant people will not accept the advice of the good people.
