The Elimination of Anger:

BURNING
Those absorbed in such accusations as:
"He/She/They abused, hurt, did me or us wrong "
whether right or wrong!, such foolish ones only prolong
own pain by being obsessed by their own anger.
However!!!
Those freed of these accusations:
"He/She/They abused, hurt, did me or us wrong "
noting: whether right or wrong - so what!!! -
such clever ones stop own pain by relinquishing all anger.

FUEL ON FIRE?
Not by anger is Hate ever quenched.
Only by Kindness is Hate always quenched.
This Ancient Law is an Eternal ... Truth ...
Dhammapada Illustration 5 Background Story 5

What good does any accusation - whether right or wrong -
do to anybody ? Nothing...!!! On the contrary: It burns up Mind,
inflames ill-will, infects with hate! In short: The way to the Downfall!

Hate brings great misfortune,
hate churns up and harms the mind;
this fearful danger deep within
this most people do not understand.
Itivuttaka 84
