Those kinds of insights are like just to be discovered in a 2000 year old text is pretty incredible yeah and you know discovered in our own minds when weYeah i found it helpful to have some kind of reference like i know one of the characteristics of anger for example is persecution Yeah especially if i look at anger at myself when i'm really angry at myself and there is that kind of merciless persecuting quality.
