The Crucial Elimination of Anger:

FEVER BURNING

Those absorbed in such accusations as:

"He/she/they abused, hurt, did me or us wrong "
whether right or wrong!, such foolish ones only prolong own pain
by being obsessed and thus possessed by their own anger.

However!

Those freed of all these accusations:
"He/she/they abused, hurt, did me or us wrong "
just plainly noting: "Whether right or wrong, so what!"

such clever ones stop own pain by relinquishing all anger.

FUEL ON FIRE?

Not by anger is Hate ever quenched.

Only by Kindness is Hate always quenched.

This Ancient Law is an eternal & absolute Truth ... !

Dhammapada Illustration 5 Background Story 5

What good does any accusation, whether right or wrong, do to anybody?

Nothing! On the contrary: It scorches mind from inside, inflames ill-will,
and infects all with hot-headed hate! In short: The way to the Downfall!
Hate brings great misfortune..

Hate churns up and harms the mind!

This fearful danger deep within own mind
most beings do not understand at all..

Itivuttaka 84
