“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 coworker, instead of getting swept away by anger, pause to observe your emotions without fully identifying with them. By recognizing that you are not defined by your anger, you can respond more rationally and maintain your inner peace.
Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.
Proverbs 16:32 speaks to the idea of self-control and mastering one's emotions, which aligns with the Stoic principle of Temperance. By being slow to anger and controlling our emotions, we can approach situations with wisdom and maintain inner peace as advocated in the reflection.
