Piso, a commander who was very popular and famous for his integrity and honesty, was very angry and angry with one of his soldiers because he did not know where his friend was staying while returning from the meadow. Then you killed him, he said, and in that anger he sentenced the man to death. Just as he was about to be hanged, his missing friend showed up. The whole army rejoiced, not only because one of their friends had not died, but also because the other had escaped death. The two friends hugged and kissed each other, and the executioner took them both to Piso...

Everyone thought Piso would be very happy. The opposite happened: His rage, which had not yet subsided, was inflamed by the fact that he was ashamed of himself, and in a moment of his rage, he had the devilishness to increase the number of guilty men to three, and the fact that one man had been found innocent had led to the beheading of three others. He condemned the first soldier to death for losing the second, the second for being lost, and the executioner for failing to carry out his orders...

"Nothing so perverts human thought as anger," says Montaigne. According to him, anger is a self-indulgent, self-inflating ambition.

It happens to me so often that sometimes I get wrongly angry at something, they give me material that proves me wrong, and I resent the truth itself, its innocence. My ego is feeding on my anger at that moment and wants to justify itself anyway...

Nothing melts you down as quickly as anger and resentment. Almost all the diseases the body experiences are related to the power of thought. In anger the heart pumps more blood, breathing and heartbeat change, the color of the face changes, all secretions and hormones change. The result is a rapid exhaustion of nerve power, a morbid increase of harmful secretions, for example bile in the stomach. For the sick person, anger and resentment are really forbidden, bad things, unfortunately the most natural tendency...

Krishna Murti: "Freeing oneself from anger is the first step towards healing." "Anger born of weakness hurts the weak the most. Conversely, if creation is rich in the beginning, then anger is an unnecessary emotion; to be able to overcome it is almost proof of richness".

"In the years when my philosophy was inflamed by feelings of anger and revenge, in the midst of it, my instinct proved infallible in practice and led to a change in my personal attitude," says F. Nietzsche. "In my decadence I forbade them as harmful to myself; as soon as my life became rich and proud enough again, I forbade them because they were beneath me".

Of course, we may have a structural feature that we bring with our genetics with our codes, but being aware of it can make it no longer egoic, but a habit pattern, and we can channel our habits into other good habits over time, with activity and intellectual work. Believe me, this is not impossible, although it may seem very difficult, and anger can gradually come under our control. We all know a very common suggestion: "in times of anger, take deep breaths and count to 10!". Then calmly explain the reason for the anger and resentment, if possible, don't hide it...

"Anger doesn't come to hide, it penetrates us completely," says Montaigne again, describing anger...
Demosthenes entered a tavern and was looking for a place in the back so that no one would see him. Diogenes saw him and said: The further back you go, the more you enter the tavern.
