“Anger begets more anger.”

This is very true. I’m sure you’ve noticed this. In our darkest moments when we feel we’ve been wronged, it can be difficult, impossible even, to feel anything like empathy or compassion or love for those around us. Certainly, it’s unimaginable that our enemies would ever be greeted with any kindness or mercy. But just as often we might find ourselves reaching our breaking points and acting out in such a way that others - our friends and family, maybe - may be forced to step in and say, “Stop. Think about what you’re doing. Think about the consequences.”
