It is mentioned in the Buddha Dharma that “the arising of a single angry thought opens the gate to myriad obstructions.” Who doesn’t have afflictions? But if you can overcome them, then afflictions turn into “Bodhi”; if not, they become karmic obstructions in your path of cultivation. Everyone should abide by these principles! Only if you abide by them well first in your daily activities will you then be successful in your cultivation of Buddha Dharma. Had that been the case, how could you not attain Buddhahood?
