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, goes a long way towards feeling better. 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. Finally, turn the anger switch right off and feel a whole lot better.

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)
