“Anybody can become angry — that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way — that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.”

Simplified Meaning:

Getting angry is something everyone can do without much effort; it's a natural reaction. Imagine a child gets frustrated when their toy breaks—they easily feel anger. But handling that anger correctly is much more complicated. For example, if your friend forgets your birthday, it's common to feel hurt and angry. However, shouting at them or holding a grudge might not be the best way to deal with it. It's more effective to calmly explain how you feel and understand their side. This careful handling means you aim your anger at the right person, in the right amount, at a suitable time, and for a good reason, making sure it's expressed in a constructive way. Managing anger effectively requires thought, patience, and control, which is a skill not everyone naturally has. By practicing this, you can improve your relationships and handle conflicts better.
