Of the Seven Deadly Sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is that what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you.

I wish this would be shown to every high school class in the US, although I think a lot of students "get it" a lot more than the rest of us. Certainly, Trump's followers should see it and have to discuss it's implications.
