"Anger shortens man's life. This can be seen from every day's experience. When a man gets angry, his temperature rises and the blood heats up. In the process, all nerves get weaker and as a consequence, all the organs in the body also get weaker. This weakness may last for six months. One moment of anger will deprive man of energy obtained from six months of food. Every fit of anger shortens man's lifespan. Likewise hatred and envy are equally debilitating in their effects. Egoism and attachment also have similar deleterious effects."

(Loving Pearl No. 1598)
