Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.

Summary

This quote highlights how anger can cloud our judgment and hinder our ability to think clearly. Just as a strong wind can extinguish a lamp, anger has the power to extinguish our mental clarity and rational thinking. It suggests that when we allow ourselves to become consumed by anger, we are unable to make wise decisions and see situations objectively. By recognizing the destructive nature of anger, we can strive to cultivate a calm and rational mindset to better navigate challenges and conflicts.
