Quote Motion #8

                                       Anger is a short madness.
                                                                                             - Horace

There is a thin line between sanity and insanity. This line is called anger, and has a
propensity towards insanity. Anger is the deadliest emotion man can throw up. Noble
character, lofty accomplishments, great civilizations have all been brought down to ruins
through outbursts of anger. Anger is an emotion, and no human who ever lived upon Earth
never displayed it. Anger constitutes the human personality alongside other emotions as
love, empathy, jealousy, hate, and so on. Anger is deadlier and can set the individual, and
those connected with him at the point of the outburst, on fire. And on the extreme, anger
is most horrible if it subjugates the reasoning capacity of men, thus obstructing access to
intelligible and amicable settlement of disputes and contentions. In such case, anger
becomes the fire which causes an inferno. And if you have felt anger, you know it burns
like fire. Play into the pages of history and you will find individuals and nations who
reduced themselves to ruin through he careless tampering of the emotion of anger.

Psychologically, during bursts of anger the human is worse that a ravenous beast and needs
only an opportunity to destroy everything that stands around him. In such condition he is
insane! The quicker he helps himself out of the border of insanity the better. If he
lingers too long he causes injury to his own emotions, to his faculty of reasoning, and the
now habitual madness of insanity warps his perception, distorts his judgement. No one likes
to be seen as insane, therefore no one wants to be brought under the whip of the demon of
anger.
Anger is an ugly emotion. Aside the psychological ailments it causes, anger may bring upon
the angry one what is called psychosomatic disorders. A lot of the diseases people pay
so much to cure have their origin in wrong mental states of which anger is chief. Anger
also causes 'tearing' on the fabric of spirit, opening holes for other-worldly entities to
find their way in, and only moments of calmness and solitude can repair the damage which
anger wrought on spirit, mind and body.

Control your anger!
