Temper is a weapon that we hold by the blade.

Summary

This quote suggests that our temper, or our tendency to become angry or lose control, is a dangerous tool that can harm ourselves as much as it can harm others. When we give in to our anger, we metaphorically "hold" this weapon, but we do so by grabbing onto the blade, causing ourselves pain and injury. It serves as a reminder that it is important to manage our tempers in order to avoid harming both our relationships and our own well-being.
