Summary

This quote suggests that uncontrolled anger has the potential to harm us more than the initial offense or harm that triggered it. When we fail to restrain our anger, it can lead us to say or do things in the heat of the moment that we may later regret, causing damage to our relationships, well-being, and overall happiness. Thus, the quote serves as a reminder of the importance of managing and controlling our anger in order to protect ourselves from greater harm.

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.
