About This Quote

A lot of people are quick to anger. They are quick to lash out at others when they are wronged. Then, they quickly become defensive when someone attempts to confront them. But once the anger is expressed, it’s almost impossible to make peace with the situation or the person.

This is especially true when you’ve hurt someone in the past and refuse to acknowledge your guilt or responsibility for causing pain. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Gandhi was a master of turning anger into something else: compassion for those you love and caring about their well-being.

Gandhi knew that you can’t change other people, only yourself and how you treat them.
