Do not weep; do not wax indignant. Understand.

— Baruch Spinoza

Why this matters:

Spinoza suggests that the heat of anger is a sign of a mind dominated by external causes. High equanimity replaces the reactive ‘waxing indignant’ with the cool light of structural understanding. To understand the ‘why’ of a crisis is to begin to master it.
