What's in it for Ron Ron to ditch his anger, By Rhondda Nunes.

We can all see the obvious things...Ron Artest needs to cut it our before he harms himself or those he's encharged to protect.But after re-reading
Eric Adelson's article "Scary Good":
I can see what's in it for Ron Ron.As he told a therapist;"I'm spoiled....I want things my way. Basketball has allways been something I felt I could dominate--something I could control."

Indeed. And getting things your way all the time certainly puts one in control doesn't it?Ron Ron's anger gives him edge on the court. Makes him desirous of keeping out an opponent's garbage. The more frustrated he gets, the harder he plays. Good for him.

But getting rid of the anger wouldn't just benefit his personal life and lower his stress levels. Getting rid of the hold frustration has on him could also make him a better baller and really put his soul in control.

How?Because the root of anger springing from frustration is impatience.The world viewed this way appears to be a world that needs to be controlled; to be forced into submission for one's peace of mind. When the external world cannot be corraled this way rage springs forth proportionally in reaction. So is the law of physics as well as karma.This creates the escalation of frustration not just in the angry person but contaminates his surroundings as well, breeding more frustration.

To just give it up, to refuse to not be "spoiled", wouldn't just help Ron Artest. It would benefit his wife, his chidren and the Kings. A less frustrated Ron Ron wouldn't have to take everything on himself.By allowing what 'is' to be, to surrender to patience; allows you to take what the defense gives you. This would create more opportunities for his teammates as well as for him.

And more opportunities for him in the rest of his life. More opportunities for those that love him. He just has to be brave enough to make the choice.
