🏛️ Stoic Quote

Your true self is not your emotion such as anger, frustration or hate. It is the inner witness that knows the rise and fall of your emotion. - Haemin Sunim

In a heated argument with a colleague, remember that you are not just the anger you feel in that moment, but also the calm observer within you that can choose how to respond. By recognizing this, you can maintain your composure and respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.

Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

The Bible verse emphasizes the importance of self-control and patience in managing emotions. It aligns with the lesson by highlighting the value of ruling one's spirit, which reflects the idea of recognizing the inner witness and choosing a thoughtful response over impulsive reactions.
