Quote by William Shakespeare

Men in rage strike those that wish them best.

Men in rage strike those that wish them best.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are consumed by anger or fury often lash out at those who genuinely care about their well-being and have their best interests in mind. It highlights the paradoxical nature of anger, where people who are overwhelmed by intense emotions tend to direct their aggression towards their closest allies and supporters, inadvertently hurting them in the process. This may stem from an inability to control their anger and a distorted perception of others' intentions, resulting in destructive behavior towards those who only intend to help.
