Quote by Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which

Summary

This quote suggests that anger is more detrimental to the person holding it than to the person or situation that it is directed towards. Just like an acid destroys the container it is stored in, anger eats away at one's inner peace and well-being. Instead of harming others, anger ends up affecting the individual, corroding their mental and emotional state. It serves as a reminder to let go of anger and find healthier ways to handle situations, emphasizing the importance of inner peace and self-care.
