Lucius Annaeus Seneca Quote

"The cause of anger is the belief that we are injured; this belief, therefore, should not be lightly entertained. We ought not to fly into a rage even when the injury appears to be open and distinct: for some false things bear the semblance of truth. We should always allow some time to elapse, for time discloses the truth."

I guess that is one cause / effect perspective. Another society would equate anger with a heavy sigh breathed through the nose — a status of existence without love and truth exhibited when a carnal expectation is not met.  -- Mike, Norwalk
