When angry, count four; when very angry, swear.

Summary

This quote suggests a simple technique for managing anger. It advises individuals to take a moment to pause and count to four when they feel angry. This brief break allows for a moment of reflection and helps in gaining a sense of control over the situation. However, when an individual experiences intense anger, the quote advises expressing that anger through swearing. This suggests that using strong language can serve as a release of pent-up emotions, ultimately providing some relief and preventing the anger from escalating further.
