“Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.”
— Benjamin Franklin
Simplified Meaning:
People always get angry for a reason, but most of the time, it's not a good reason. For example, imagine someone spills coffee on your shirt by accident. You might get really mad at them, but it was just a mistake, and being really angry doesn't help. Instead, maybe you could just laugh it off or calmly clean it up. This idea teaches us to think before reacting with anger and to try to understand if there's a better way to handle the situation. By staying calm, we can avoid making things worse and find a better solution.
