Anger

"If anger is not restrained it is frequently more hurtful to us than the injury
that provokes it." - Seneca (03-65)

One of the causes of anxiety and self-doubt may be feelings of hostility

towards others. If a person is angry, perhaps it is good to let this anger be
expressed, and to not hold it inside. But to not have the anger at all feels
better all the way. Anger may seem justified, but is it worth it? Many very
wise people don't think it is.

"Whatever is begun in anger, ends in shame." - Ben Franklin (1706-1790)

"An angry person is always full of poison." - Confucius (BC)

So if you are angry consider how you are feeling. If possible, is a

discussion with the target of your anger worthwhile? Try to see another
point of view no matter how unreasonable it might be. What can you do to
resolve what is making you angry? Don't be afraid to ask for advice or help.
Sometimes if it is just a simple annoyance such as another's bad habit,
how would a little resignation work?

Hatred is a prolonged anger towards a fellow human. It probably doesn't

cause the other person any harm, but it has a way of making us feel sick
and depressed. Hatred is not helpful in any way. "Hatred is self-
punishment." - Hosea Ballou (1771-1852)

There are various forms of hatred, motivated in different ways, and often
without cause.

"Prejudice is the child of ignorance." - Hazlitt (1778-1830)

"Jealousy - magnifier of trifles." - Johann Schiller (1759-1805)
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abe
Lincoln (1809-1865)

Gossip - an attack on the character of a person, performed dishonestly and

without courage, and motivated by hatred. "Let no one be willing to speak
ill of the absent." - Sextus Propertius (BC)
