So whenever anyone irritates you, recognize that it is your opinion that has irritated you. Try above all, then, not to allow yourself to be carried away by the impression; for if you delay things and gain time to think, you’ll find it easier to gain control of yourself.” Enchiridion 20. * "Are we going to get angry (which is easy…even if it ultimately makes things worse)? Or are we going to feel hurt (and then from that hurt, heal, grow and learn?)" - Daily Stoic * They did not make you angry. You decided to be angry about what they did. --- # References
