#13 Certain situations require certain strengths. Often you will have to exercise self control. Be it when the swallowing of rage is required or even when upholding patience. When you find yourself in the midst of such circumstances, it will be difficult. It will be a struggle. Sometimes you may even feel a sense of brokenness within you. Because really your heart breaks when someone hurts you or angers you, and you have to control your anger and exert yourself in patience. Hence when you fight the urge to retaliate, you are breaking your Nafs too. And that's something which needs breaking. By overcoming the urge to retaliate, you will gain a sense of control over yourself, and this is extremely important for your own spiritual growth.
