However, the truth is that in our day to day anger tends to arise for trivial reasons, according to Seneca anger could be classified as a temporary madness; Even in cases where it is justified, as when an injustice occurs, we should never act motivated by anger.
From Seneca you might interpret that: some emotions affect our judgment, but anger directly affects our sanity, the emotions that affect our judgment, come as gentle attacks that go unnoticed, but our mind is prone to Falling abruptly into anger affecting our sanity.
Seneca was referring to the fact that, often the intensity with which we respond to anger is not related to the cause that caused it otherwise, it happens with other functions. For example, if we win 500 dollars in the lottery we will be happy, but if we win 500,000 dollars we will be elated. The same applies in the case of losses, where the magnitude of our sadness depends on the degree of loss and its meaning.
Anger doesn't happen that way. Since we dare to respond in a disproportionate way to her cause.
Some people respónden with excessive anger at any opinion that goes against their thinking patterns, but anger, in addition to causing harm to others, also affects who suffers.
Anger is like an acid, which can do more damage to the container where it is stored, than in anything on which it is added.
