From my daily readings II: anger

I'm reading the homilies on John's Gospel by St. John Chrysostom, and I came across this passage about anger and what it does to a person:

Nothing is more shameful than a countenance ablaze with anger, nothing more disfigured. . . . for just as a noisome odor is given off when mud is stirred up, so when the soul is disturbed by anger great impropriety and unpleasantness will result.

. . .  if you parry reviling with reviling,you have kindled the blaze still more.  (A modern variation on this is, "It's the second statement that starts the argument."

. . . he who indulges in anger . . . already begins to pay the penalty for his action, by introducing into his inmost thoughts a certain unceasing rest and persistent distress all through the night and all through the day.

So, questions of the day: Do you find this to be true in your life? And if so, what are you going to do about it?
