On Anger - Why the consequences of anger than are worse the causes of it.

"Accordingly, some wise men have said that anger is a brief
madness: for it’s no less lacking in self-control, forgetful of decency,
unmindful of personal ties, unrelentingly intent on its goal,
shut off from rational deliberation, stirred for no substantial reason,
unsuited to discerning what’s fair and true, just like a collapsing
building that’s reduced to rubble even as it crushes what it falls
upon." Seneca

Anger is one of the most powerful emotions we have, when it gets started it cant be stopped easily, or in some cases at all by rational though, but anger is itself completely controls us and takes over us. Anger is a destructive emotion that many of us often regret after it has run its course, and this fact alone should prove to you that anger is in far excess of the causes of it.

The causes of anger can be quite trivial as well. A driver going below the speed limit, a spouse not cleaning the dishes correctly, or someone not inviting us to a dinner all are prominent, but unjust causes of anger. The reason for this is that we get angry when we feel we have been "wronged", but in perception of being wronged the fault lies in our interpretation of events, not the events themselves. Social reputation and anger are linked closely, as offenses assaulting our social standing, even though they might be trivial, are a persuasive cause of anger.
