Anger cannot be dishonest

This quote by Marcus Aurelius, one of the "Five Good Roman Emperors" and a stoic philosopher, can be read from his book "Meditation".

When you think about it, it is true to its core, however, I don't think the quote is complete.

Being honest does not necessarily mean it's right.

When certain things do not agree with your perception of them take place, it naturally gears up the feeling inside and drives your urge to express or to correct them. The feeling is no doubt as honest as it can be, but it says nothing about your perception of it is as impartial as it would get.

One of the reasons our world is so colourful and full of varieties is because every individual perceives same thing differently, hence alters our behaviour, the way we work and live. Also, because there isn't and never will be an absolute right and wrong, nobody can truely do everything right.

Given any situation, certain parties would be more right than the rest, but that does not mean the rest is wrong. Therefore, when something happens to you that really upsets you, calm down and think about it, don't start yelling at everyone you know and try to make them agree with you, they don't have to and they probably wouldn't.

One's anger comes from no place but within itself. Nobody else could be in the exact same shoe to feel the same feeling.

No sympathy ... whatsoever.
