But when I\u00a0contemplated the origin of anger itself, I\u00a0observed that different persons are liable to anger from different causes; yet in the case of practically all of them there is present a belief that they are being despised or neglected.\u00a0For this reason we should assist those who endeavour to avoid anger, by removing as far as possible the act that rouses wrath from any suspicion of contempt or arrogance and by imputing it to ignorance or necessity or emotion or mischance. So Sophocles:
\nO\u00a0king, not even the reason Nature gives
\nStays with the unfortunate, but goes astray;
\nand so likewise Agamemnon\u00a0ascribes the taking away of Brise\u00efs to divine infatuation:
\nI\u00a0wish again to make amends, to give
\nYou countless ransom. (Homer)
\nSupplication, indeed, is the act of one who does not despise; and when he that has done an injury shows himself humble, he removes all notion of contempt. But the man in a rage should not wait for such humility, but should take to himself the reply of Diogenes:\u00a0when someone said to him, “They are laughing at you, Diogenes,” he answered, “But I\u00a0am not laughed down.” Just so the angry man should not consider himself despised, but rather despise the man who gave the offence as acting from weakness or rashness, carelessness or illiberality, dotage or childishness. But such a notion must not on any account be entertained toward servants or friends; for our servants presume on our upright character, our friends on our affection, and both disregard us,\u00a0 not as being impotent or ineffectual, but because of our reasonableness or our goodwill.<\/p>\n
