AN EVEN TEMPER – SOMETIMES IT IS RENDERED AS 'ANGERLESSNESS' WHICH IS NOT VERY HAPPY. A BETTER RENDERING WOULD BE THE CAPACITY TO CHECK AT THE RIGHT TIME THE WAVES OF ANGER AS THEY MOUNT UP IN OUR MIND, SO THAT WE DONOT MANIFEST ANGER IN OUR ACTIONS.
IT WILL BE ALMOST UNNATURAL TO EXPECT THE MIND TO BECOME INCAPABLE OF ANGER. BUT NO EMOTION SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO OVERWHELM US TO SUCH A DEGREE AS TO RENDER US ALMOST POWERLESS. THIS ANGER ARISES OUT OF AN INSUFFERRABLE IMPATIENCE WITH OTHERS**
IN SHORT, NO-ANGER DOES NOT MEAN 'WITHOUT ANGER' BUT ONLY KEEPING, AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, AN EVEN TEMPER.
** ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY, BY THEIR THOUGHT, WORD OR DEED COME TO INJURE OUR INTEREST, OR INSULT OUR OWN SELF-EVALUATION.
