“‘Don’t get angry, get even’ is a pagan, not a Christian saying.
“Poets have spoken in different ways about this all too human emotion. The ancient Roman Horace spoke of anger as a ‘brief madness’ and about nineteen hundred years later the greatest poet of the First World War, the Englishman Wilfred Owen, wrote of the ‘monstrous anger of the guns’ slaughtering the tens of thousands of young men ‘who die(d) as cattle’.”
In a recent commentary, Cardinal George Pell (Archbishop of Sydney, Australia) reflected on anger and its consequences.
