Getting angry is like burning yourself with other people’s fires. Let us stop it by being kind and forgiving like water.

About This Quote

William Shakespeare said, “Getting angry is like burning yourself with other people’s fires. Let us stop it by being kind and forgiving like water.” The poet was referring to the fact that anger is not healthy. There are many harmful things you can do when you get mad. There are also many things that you can do that will help you feel better if you are mad.

You can write in your journal or draw pictures or play with your children. We all feel some form of anger at one time or another. Sometimes we get angry for no reason at all.

What matters most, however, is how we deal with our anger. It is our emotions that make us who we are, and allowing them to take control of our lives does not allow us to express ourselves fully. We must learn how to cope with our anger instead of letting it control us.
