Quote by Mehmet Oz

The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.

The opposite of anger is not calmness, its empathy.

Summary

This quote highlights that anger is not best pacified by simply seeking calmness or tranquility. Instead, the antidote to anger lies in empathy. When we try to understand and acknowledge the feelings and perspectives of others, we establish a connection that fosters empathy. By cultivating empathy, we lessen anger's intensity and open the door for compassion, forgiveness, and resolution. Rather than suppressing anger or ignoring its roots, this quote suggests that empathy is the true counterbalance to anger, as it promotes understanding and harmony among individuals.

I still enjoy my life, and I feel like I've achieved enough things that if I never did anything again, I'd feel confident that I'd still have made my mark in some way. But maybe the self-loathing bit is the element that makes you strive for more. Makes you strive to be better.
