Anger, if not restrained, is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury that provokes it.
Seneca warned that anger is like fire — it burns the one who holds it. In his essay *On Anger*, he described how emperors, fathers, and soldiers destroyed lives and themselves through rage. Seneca was not calling for suppression, but transformation: understand anger, question it, and redirect it toward justice — not destruction.
Anger is natural, but unexamined anger is dangerous. Respond, do not react.
"Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."
