The Anger

              People generally blame anger as a fault. But sometimes, it is right to be angry. When is anger right, and when may we be angry? And we ought to be angry when we see the weak unjustly treated by the strong, when a great wrong is done to an innocent man, when the rich oppress the poor, when dumb animals are tortured by brutal men, when little children are beaten and starved by drunken parents,These things should fill us with anger, and drive us to do all we can to protect the weak and help the suffering. Such anger has driven good men to come out as reformers, to right public wrongs and put down bad customs.

              This kind of anger is always unselfish. It springs from the sympathy and a sense of justice. Ad men who feel it are angry at wrong done to others, but not at wrongs done to themselves.
