When reason ends, then anger begins. Therefore, anger is a sign of weakness.

The three types of misery are the misery of suffering, the misery of change, and pervasive misery.

Hatred, jealousy and excessive attachment cause suffering and agitation. I feel compassion can help us overcome these disturbances and let us return to a calm state of mind.
