TEXT: On Anger

No man who looks at another's possessions is pleased with his own. We grow angry even with the goods we have because another's ahead of us, forgetting how much of humanity is behind us and what monstrous envy stalks the man who envies only a few. Still, people are so unreasonable that however much they've received, they count it an injury that they could have received more.
