How can one resist so as not to be inflamed with anger from the anger of others, like fire from fire? For it is equally bad both to give yourself over to evil first and to come to the same disposition with the one who has given himself over to it. First, immediately resort to God and ask Him to mercilessly crush the hail of wrath that is striking you, but to spare us, who have not offended others. And at the same time, put on yourself the sign of the cross, of which everyone is horrified and trembles, and whose protection I use in every case and against everyone. Secondly, get ready to fight with the one who gave the reason for this anger, and not with the one who indulged in it, so that, being well armed, it will be easier for you to defeat passion. For those who are unprepared cannot withstand an attack, but those who are well prepared will find the strength to overcome. And what does it mean to win? To endure external victory over oneself with indifference. Thirdly, knowing where you came from and what you will turn into, do not think too much about yourself, so that you are not embarrassed by a high and unworthy opinion of yourself. For the humble one indifferently endures victory over himself, but the too arrogant one does not yield to anything. Those who, in order to somehow stop their exaltation, call themselves earth and ashes... are friends of God. And you, as if perfect, refuse to tolerate insults. Be careful that you are not punished for your conceit... Fourthly, know that our life is nothing and we are all not sinless judges of good and bad deeds, but for the most part and most often we rush here and there and constantly wander. What is bad for us is not bad for the Word; and what is good for me may not be so for the Lord. One thing, without any doubt, is bad: it is evil. And the local glory, earthly wealth and nobility are just children's toys. Therefore, what I lament, I should rejoice at... Fifthly, let us have more prudence. If there is not the slightest truth in what one who is inflamed and blinded by anger says, then his words do not concern us. And if he speaks the truth, then it means that I myself have caused some kind of offense to myself. Why am I complaining about the one who declared what had remained hidden until now? Anger does not remain faithful. For if he often resorts to untruth, will he keep the secret within himself? After this, you will reassure yourself this way: if this outbreak is not evil, then it is unfair to blame it. And if it is evil, which is indeed the case, then isn’t it a shame to tolerate in yourself what you condemn in others when you suffer from them yourself, and not be taught by the example of your enemy? Moreover, if the person who gets excited and breathes insolence has not previously enjoyed a good opinion of himself, then now the blame will obviously fall on him, and not on you. And if he is an excellent person, they will not consider you sane for your answer, because the opinion of the majority always leans in favor of the best. But did you do him good? Moreover, he will be condemned. But did he hurt you? You (a disciple of Christ, listen to the Lord) do not harm him. But should he be stopped? What if more violence comes? Did he start it first? Let him who is admonished by your word and good behavior crush his rage as quickly as possible... Is this offensive? It would be a shame if you fell with him too. Are we really going to respond to the reproaches of the sick with reproaches? Do you not indifferently endure the frenzy of those who are raging - I mean those who involuntarily spew slander? Why not endure this from someone who is insane and in a strong rage? Of course, you should endure it if you are of sound mind. What can we say about drunks whose minds are darkened by wine? What if a mad dog runs past you? What if a camel, out of natural impudence, screams at the top of its lungs and stretches out its neck to you? Will you fight him or will you run away out of prudence? ...And you, if you think about the similarity of an angry person with such, you will begin to despise insults. I'll tell you one artificial way. Although he is not worthy of the attention of those who prefer meekness, I will nevertheless name him, because he can extinguish trouble... Try to bring down the one who is enraged with jokes. Laughter is the most powerful weapon for victory over anger... Anyone who insults a person who is not angry at his attacks, but laughs at him, is most upset and weakened. On the contrary, if he encounters resistance to himself, it brings him some pleasure, because new food for anger is provided, and anger is very pleasant to him. I conjure you, anger is the friend of vices, my hostile protector and patron, who puffs me up and betrays me to hell, submit now to God and the Word. Submit, anger, murderous passion, obvious ugliness of the face, overwhelming thoughts, evil rapture, horns pushing into Tartarus, a legion of demons, complex evil... submit. For Christ, Whom the world cannot contain, Who moves the universe with His helm, devoting life to both people and Angels who diligently call on Him, grants permission both from evil spirits and from passions. Christ wants the demons of wrath to immediately flee from the servants of God and, entering the pigs, hide in the abyss. This herd, descending into the depths, is ready to receive them. But do not touch us, for whom God Himself cares. Saint Gregory the Theologian (15, 168).
