No matter how much ever your brain understands, ultimately it is the "mind"
that needs to be transformed. Because of wrong decisions being taken in an
enraged state of mind, the brain may decide n-number of times not to get angry
again, yet, as soon as there is an inkling of anger in the mind, you will invariably
end up being angry.
-Deep Trivedi
