“The greatest remedy for anger is delay ”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
When you're mad, it can be helpful to take a moment before you react. Just like when someone cuts you off in traffic, and you feel really angry. Instead of yelling or honking the horn, if you wait a bit, you might feel less angry and realize it’s not worth the trouble. When you delay your reaction, it gives you time to calm down and think clearly. This way, you won't say or do something you'll regret later. Just like a wise teacher or parent who takes time to cool off before they deal with a problem, you can handle situations better if you wait until you're not so upset. By doing this, you can solve problems without making them worse.
