Anger

Heated words, cool malice, deadly feuds, the furious rush of adrenaline-anger is clearly the most destructive of the seven deadly sins. It can ruin families, wreck one's health, destroy peace of mind and, at its worst, lead to murder, genocide, and war. In Anger, Robert A. F.

In the West, Thurman points out, anger is seen as an inevitable part of life, an evil to be borne, not overcome.

What he represents, and what he has accomplished, heals and transcends the current tensions between Tibet and China.
