Anger has its place, but it will not serve you here, the way of the warrior is the way of knowing. Of that knowledge requires you to use anger, then you use anger, but you cannot wrest forth knowledge by losing your temper.

About This Quote

When you are angry at someone, it is natural to feel that you need to lash out at that person. However, if you cannot control the anger, you will only hurt yourself. The way of the warrior is the way of knowing. Of that knowledge requires you to use anger, then you use anger, but you cannot wrest forth knowledge by losing your temper.

By viewing your anger as an enemy to be defeated or manipulated, you gain wisdom and strength because you become one with your anger. The more powerful the enemy becomes, the more powerful you become.
