Stop the mad rush and smell the flowers
File | Nation Anger is a strong emotion expressing displeasure. There are many causes for it, but the underlying theme is concern for oneself. When you are angry, there is a general feeling that someone has violated your rights. It is about a “me first” mentality.

In Summary
- If you are like everyone around you, your life is probably one thankless mad rush. You get up early in the morning to beat Nairobi’s eternal traffic jam, your day passes in a blur of monotonous activity and by the time you get home, you are too tired to spend quality time with your loved ones. Is it really worth it?
It might all seem convoluted or even rhetoric all these prescriptions, but one maxim that seems to constantly buoy through this clatter of opinion is the need for a more sober spirit, or mind.
So in short, they say, tame your urges. Love genuinely. Drink water. Give back to others. Pray. Eat your vegetables. Pray.
Nurture relationships. Expect less from human beings because they will break your heart. Find contentment in things with longevity.
Develop your chi more.
