Step 8 ~ On Freedom from Anger
¶11. An angry person is a willing epileptic, who due to an involuntary tendency keeps convulsing and falling down.
¶12. Nothing is so inappropriate to those repenting as a spirit agitated by anger, because conversion requires great humility, and anger is a sign of every kind of presumption.
¶13. It is a mark of extreme meekness, even in the presence of one’s offender, to be peacefully and lovingly disposed towards him in one’s heart, then it is certainly a mark of hot temper when a person continues to quarrel and rage against his offender, both by words and gestures, even when by himself.
