Anger

Epictetus the stoic philosopher said
that anyone who angers you becomes your master
by disturbing you;

Well, that's me -

full of righteous and unrighteous anger;

on the other hand,
God gets pretty hot in the O.T. -

Are there different rules?
After all, we both know we're right.

And don't ask me what 'religion' I am, OK?
Or I could get really angry...
