AGAINST ANGER

Can there be any greater enemy to mankind than anger, which kills laughter and joy (which indeed are the greatest of blessings on earth)?

Tiru-Valluvar appeals to our sense of values and asks: Of what value is anything that destroys joy?  

Let him who would save himself guard against anger. The anger that is not held back is disastrous to oneself. The appeal is here to self-interest.  He who thinks anger is a profitable or worthy thing and yields to it is bound to suffer the evil thereof, even like the fool that hits the ground with his hand.
