Buddhism

I called a friend regarding a feud I have with a certain person in my life..I left  a voice mail..panting

I did not think I was maintaining any anger towards this person and then I was in the same room with
this guy .... he attacked me and I  made all these classic mistakes..letting him get to me..

The woman friend texted me..she wrote that she understood..that she had had similar experiences and she turned to Buddhism..

HAS IT REALLY COME TO THAT?
