Shalom and welcome to your daily dose of Rambam. Today’s thought revolves around anger. You know, that feeling that can well up inside of us and threaten to consume us? Well, the Rambam, in his infinite wisdom in Hilchot Deot, tells us to strive to be slow to anger. He says that it is a trait of the righteous. And if we do get angry, we must learn to control it. How? By remaining silent when provoked. So the next time you feel the heat of anger rising, take a deep breath, channel your inner tzaddik, and let the silence speak volumes.
