Summary

This quote illustrates that holding onto anger only harms oneself. The act of holding anger is compared to holding a hot coal, with the intention of harming someone else. However, the consequence of this action is that the person who holds onto anger is the one who ultimately suffers, just like getting burned by the hot coal. It suggests that instead of seeking vengeance or directing anger towards others, it is healthier to let go of anger and find peace within ourselves.
