“We must love one another not as Cain,
who … murdered his brother …
Because his own deeds were evil; his brother’s deeds
were righteous.” (1 John 3:11-12) Then the LORD said to Cain,
“Why are you angry? … sin is lurking at the door;
…you must master it.”(Genesis 4:6-7)

not excuses. —William Arthur Ward
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance,

How much more grievous are the consequences

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
Anger is an acid that can do more harm
to the vessel in which it is stored
than to anything on which it is poured.
