The Wretchedness of Anger(continue)2) Through anger people kill not only others, but they kill themselves (suicide):“No being but seeks his own self’s good,None dearer to him than himself,Yet men in anger kill themselves,Distraught for reasons manifold:For crazed they stab themselves with daggers,In desperation swallow poison,Perish hanged by ropes, or flingThemselves over a precipice.Yet how their-life-destroying actsBring death unto themselves as well,That they cannot discern, and thatIs the ruin anger breeds.”Professor Karunadasa’s public lecture onPursuit of Happiness: The Buddhist Way[Anguttaranikaya of the Pali Buddhist Canon]21 4/13/2013
