Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.

Always write angry letters to your enemies. Never mail them.

Summary

This quote suggests a therapeutic approach to dealing with anger or resentment towards enemies. By expressing one's grievances in the form of a letter, it can serve as a cathartic exercise to release pent-up emotions. However, the advice to not actually send these letters indicates the need to refrain from escalating conflicts or perpetuating negativity. Instead, it encourages individuals to find healthier ways of coping and resolving issues. Writing angry letters can serve as a means of personal reflection rather than a means for further confrontation.
