“Anger and rashness are storms that make a shipwreck of our souls”
— Lucius Annaeus Seneca
Simplified Meaning:
When people let anger and impulsiveness control them, it can cause serious problems in their lives, just like a storm can destroy a ship. For example, imagine a person who gets very angry during an argument with a friend. If they shout and say hurtful things without thinking, they might damage their relationship beyond repair. The same happens with quick, reckless decisions—they often lead to regret and trouble. To avoid these "storms," it’s important to stay calm and think before acting or speaking. This way, people protect their emotional well-being and maintain better relationships with others.
