Emotional responses are not inevitable. They are a choice we make.

When we feel guilty for something, we need to take it as a signal to analyze our judgments.

It is our judgments that cause anger. Therefore, we can reframe our judgments by viewing the situation from a different angle.

We can learn from the ancient Stoics on mitigating anger, an emotion considered a “temporary madness.”

A philosopher who thinks that anyone who wrongs him is worthhy of forgiveness is better than someone who thinks of defending himself with lawsuits.
