On Wrath “Moreover, if you choose to view its results and the harm of it, no plague has cost the human race more dear. You will see bloodshed and poisoning, the vile countercharges of criminals, the downfall of cities and whole nations given to destruction, princely persons sold at public auction, houses put to the torch, and conflagration that halts not within the city-walls, but makes great stretches of the country glow with hostile flame. Behold the most glorious cities whose foundations can scarcely be traced — anger cast them down. Behold solitudes stretching lonely for many miles without a single dweller — anger laid them waste”. Citatation of Seneca If the Wrath is not the greatest calamity of the mankind, it is, at least, one of the most destructive human feelings which brings a big number of troubles in variable situations of the social relations. Firstly, its unpleasant consequences may be easy seen in the families of the major part of the people. Those people, who do not take much care about the Anger, its springs and consequences, fall under its attacks. This causes not only their relative’s discomfort, but their own too. That’s why it is a matter of a great importance to any of us to understand how unworthy is to give up the battle against the Wrath and how many troubles the defeat brings. Secondly, is it not the Wrath, which brings lots of problems to the public life, too? In my opinion it is not right to think that the behavior of the powerful persons on the politic horizon nowadays, is not at least determined by the Anger, but only by political maneuvers. In fact, the events which Seneca speaks about, exist in our era, too, although the style he uses to express the destructions, caused by the Wrath, is more suitable for the epic events of some century, which has sank in the Past since long ago.
