Quote by Alexander Pope

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

To be angry is to revenge the faults of others on ourselves.

Summary

This quote suggests that holding onto anger and seeking revenge only harms oneself. When we allow ourselves to become angry and seek to retaliate against the faults or wrongdoings of others, we end up bringing negative consequences upon ourselves. Holding onto anger consumes our energy and perpetuates the cycle of negativity. Instead of seeking revenge, it is better to find healthier ways to cope with and address the issues that caused the anger, in order to avoid further harm to ourselves.

Both men and women today see marriage not as a way of creating character and community but as a way to reach personal life goals. They are looking for a marriage partner who will 'fulfill their emotional, sexual, and spiritual desires.' And that creates an extreme idealism that in turn leads to a deep pessimism that you will ever find the right person to marry.
