th
Now we will speak about the personality flaw of “Anger.” Anger
is a very terrible personality trait, so much so that the writings
and teachings of Chazal deal at great length with the enormity
of its lowliness. Chazal have said (Gemara Nedarim 22b) that
whoever possesses this trait of anger does not appreciate or care
that the Shehchinah is in front of him. That at the moment when 7 ,ל ֵּבקְַמַה לַעְו ר ֵּפַסְמַה לַע יֵאקָ אוּהֶשׁ ,"אְוָשׁ עַמֵשׁ אָשִּׂת אלֹ"
one is overcome by anger, his senses depart from him and often
one finds that a person in this state of anger has completely
repudiated the Torah and mitzvot. At that moment everything
that is corrupt and twisted seems perfectly reasonable to him and
even the most serious of sins seem perfectly permissible, egs.,
oppressive \ abusive speech, curses, conflict and controversy,
Lashon Hara and language that is embarrassing.
While in a rage of anger there are those people who will tear
their clothes or smash their utensils or throw out their money,
etc. Regarding all of these displays of anger Chazal have said
(Gemara Shabbat 105b) this person should be considered by you
as someone who worships idol gods, that today his Yetzer Hara
tells him “Do this thing,” and tomorrow it will tell him “Do that
thing,” and so on until it tells him to “Go worship idol gods,”
and he goes and worships them. And the pasuk (Tehilim 81:10)
“There should not be within you an alien god,” identifies an
“alien god” as a person’s resident Yetzer Hara.
Furthermore, Chazal have said (Gemara Nedarim 22a) that all
types of Gehinnom dominate the person who is enraged. The
meaning of their statement is that each sin this person performs
creates a punishment in Gehinnom that is unique to that sin.
Anyone who analyzes this character trait of anger will realize
that by virtue of this person’s character trait of anger, he will
commit every form of sin to the point where Chazal will say
about this person that it is a certainty that his sins will exceed his
merit, and so they have said all types of Gehinnom will dominate
him. Moreover, Chazal have said (Gemara Pesachim 66b) that
whoever becomes angry, even though Heaven may have destined
greatness for him, Heaven will take him down. Therefore man
must stay very far away from this personality trait.
