"It is easy to fly into a passion--
anybody can do that--
but to be angry with the right person and at the right time and with the right object and in the right way--
that is not easy, and it is not everyone who can do it."
Aristotle

I prefer the tradition which produced and has maintained the Aquinas version of Aristotle. You know, about a "little mistake in the beginning being a big one in the end." Along with not cutting women's heads off any more. I'll keep that one, thank you. Talking about passion and anger getting people out of control.
Good grief. Get obsessed with a new topic. You'll feel better.
