Deep dives

Don't get upset with good people

It's common for people to lose their temper with loved ones despite being patient and understanding with others. This paradox arises from the proximity and familiarity we have with family members, leading to more opportunities for anger. However, we should remember that our loved ones have shown us love and support far more times than they've hurt us. Seneca advises us to not be angry at good people, emphasizing that their positive traits outweigh the things that bother us. Instead of indulging in anger, we should recognize that our families deserve better treatment.
