“Anger is not the proper response to anger. When you see someone angry you are seeing their pain. Compassion is the proper response to anger.”

Simplified Meaning:
When someone is angry, it's usually because they are hurting or upset about something. Instead of getting mad back at them, it's better to be kind and understanding. For example, if a friend yells at you for being late, they might actually be frustrated because they had a bad day. Responding with kindness, like apologizing and asking them what's wrong, can help calm things down. This way, you're showing that you care about their feelings, which can make the situation better. It's like putting out a fire with water instead of adding more fire. Being compassionate can heal wounds and build stronger relationships.
