seneca on anger

“How much more does he lose by getting angry than he lost from the matter that angered him! Anger brings grief to fathers, divorce to spouses, hatred to officials, defeat to candidates...There’s nothing more grievous than fights, and anger stirs these up. There’s nothing more dire than war, and the anger of the powerful bursts forth into war...Moreover, anger—if we may deal separately with the things that result from it, the suffering, the treachery, the ceaseless worry over interpersonal battles—pays the penalty it demands.” — Seneca
