"如果不加以克制，愤怒往往比激怒我们的伤害更对我们有害。"
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Simplified Meaning:
When we get angry and don't control that anger, we can often hurt ourselves more than the thing we were angry about in the first place. For example, imagine someone cuts you off in traffic. If you get very upset and shout or drive recklessly, you might end up in an accident, hurting yourself more than if you had just stayed calm. In history, there are many stories where leaders made poor decisions in a fit of anger, causing more problems for their people than the original issue. To avoid this, it's better to take a deep breath and calm down before reacting. This way, we can think clearly and solve the problem without making things worse.
