If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: ''I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day.'' When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.

If you''re angry at a loved one, hug that person. And mean it. You may not want to hug - which is all the more reason to do so. It''s hard to stay angry when someone shows they love you, and that''s precisely what happens when we hug each other.
