Events, situations and people respond to you in a similar manner. There's a better way. There's no need to tear ourselves up inside or take it out on others.

Anger is a natural feeling that arises upon seeing unrighteousness, yet uncontrolled it can cause much damage. Of the great founders of religion, we see that Moses had anger as a weakness. He displayed it, to his own loss, at the incident of striking the rock at Meribah. For a related theme, see Turn the Other Cheek, pp. 1003-07. Interfaith passages at: origin.org/ucs/ws/theme130.cfm
