Feeling Angry? Talk to Seneca

According to Seneca, we become angry because we are too optimistic. Instead, we should be more realistic. Every day we encounter anger/frustration because we expect the world to conform to our desires, and well, that simply does not happen. We should change our attitude and acknowledge the fact that things don't always happen how we would like them, but we do not need to become angry because of it. We simply need to be realistic and not become surprised when our environment does not meet our expectations. That's Seneca in a nutshell.

So next time your computer freezes, buy a Mac or remember you don't have to react like this guy.

Anger: an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.
