AGAINST ANGER

He truly is angerless who does not give vent to anger when the wrongdoer is under his power. Where his anger cannot hurt, that is when he cannot effectively retaliate, what matters it whether he guards against anger or not? Everyone knows that it is bad for oneself to lose temper in dealing with superiors.

But where anger is directed against persons in one's power it is the worst of all offences. Anger causes pain and a fresh lease of life is given to ill will. Where it does not hurt the other party, it simply causes pain to oneself.
