"In life we are taught that there are seven deadly sins. We all know the big ones… gluttony, pride, lust. But the thing you don’t hear much about is anger. Maybe it’s because we think anger is not that dangerous, that you can control it. My point is, maybe we don’t give anger enough credit. Maybe it can be a lot more dangerous than we think. After all, when it comes to destructive behavior, it did make the top seven.
So what makes anger different from the six other deadly sins? It’s pretty simple really, you give into a sin like envy or pride and you only hurt yourself. Try lust or coveting and you’ll only hurt yourself and one or two others. But anger, anger is the worst… the mother of all sins… Not only can anger drive you over the edge, when it does you can take an awful lot of people with you."

How do we take care of ourselves when we have things about us that we want to change? How could I be a better person?
