“Don’t get mad at others because life is kicking your ass.”
David Goggins

In a frustrating traffic jam, instead of honking and getting angry at other drivers, focus on patience and understanding that everyone is dealing with their own challenges. Remember that losing your temper won't improve the situation.

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
James 1:19 ESV

Temperance teaches us to control our emotions and not let external events dictate our reactions. In moments of frustration, practicing patience and understanding can help us maintain inner peace and respond with wisdom. Just as James 1:19 advises us to be slow to anger, embodying temperance allows us to elevate our responses above momentary irritations.
