“The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred.”Dalai Lama
In a heated argument with a colleague, instead of resorting to anger, you take a deep breath and respond calmly, diffusing the tension and preventing a potential conflict. This practice of conquering your own anger and responding with patience showcases true inner strength and heroism in everyday interactions.
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 reinforces the idea of conquering one's own emotions and exhibiting self-control. It shows that true strength is not displayed through anger or aggression, but through the ability to remain calm and composed in challenging situations. This aligns with the Stoic pillar of Courage, which emphasizes facing difficulties with fortitude and resilience.
