About this Quote

The quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca suggests that while anger might emerge from being harmed or offended, if we enable ourselves to act on that anger without restraint, it can cause more harm to us than the preliminary injury. To put it simply, if we let our anger control our actions, it can lead to negative repercussions and ultimately be more destructive to our wellness than the initial source of our anger. For that reason, it is very important to practice self-control and restraint when dealing with anger.
