概要

Someone cuts you off in traffic, and suddenly the blood rushes to your head. Or at home your child knocks over a glass, and your voice rises until it sounds strange even to your own ears. A few minutes later the anger fades; what remains is regret, and a hurt face. In this conversation we talk about anger control, why anger hits hardest the people closest to us, and the simplest cure Seneca gives in his book On Anger: waiting. Plato's raised hand and Seneca's short nightly self-review are part of this prescription too.

📖 Sources in the video:
• Seneca, On Anger (De Ira) 1.1: anger is "a brief madness."
• Seneca, On Anger 3.12: "The greatest remedy for anger is delay"; Plato holding his raised hand in the air over his slave: "I am punishing an angry man."
• Seneca, On Anger 3.36: the nightly self-examination he learned from his teacher Sextius; "Anger will cease and become more controllable if it knows it must come before a judge every day."
• Turkish proverb: "He who rises in anger sits down in loss."

💬 What makes you angriest? And once you calm down, what do you find beneath your anger: exhaustion, hurt, or fear? Share in the comments; no one is judged here.

May your heart stay cool and your words sweet, my dear friend.
