Among all sins, there is one which
completely opposes the major blessing of human life, which is your love for your brother: there
is no worse sin than to destroy this major joy of life, by feeling rage and
hatred for your brother.
Seneca, a
wise man from Rome, said that when you want to escape from your rage, when you
feel that it grows, the best thing to do is to stop. Do not do anything: do not
walk, do not move, do not speak. If your body or your tongue moves at this
moment, then your rage will grow.
Rage is very harmful for all people, but it is most
harmful for the man who experiences it.
An evil person damages
not only others but himself.
— After Socrates
— After Socrates
Your enemy will pay you back with rage, will make
you suffer, but the biggest damage to you will be caused by the rage and hatred
existing in your heart. Neither your father, nor your mother, nor all your
family can make you more good than your heart can when it forgives and forgets
its abuse.
— Dhammapada,
a book of Buddhist Wisdom
Your rage cannot be justified by anything. The reason for your rage is always inside you.
