00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.960
And there is a thing in the
Talmud and the Jewish oral tradition
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.000
that says: "kol ha'koes,
k'ilu oveid avoda zara."
3
00:00:07.000 --> 00:00:12.039
One who gets angry, it's as if
they are bowing down to a stone.
4
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:13.480
It's like idolatry.
5
00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:14.960
I remember sitting and thinking
6
00:00:15.039 --> 00:00:17.600
about the thing about my own
anger and watching
7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:22.559
how much anger votes for me,
chooses how I see people,
8
00:00:22.559 --> 00:00:25.559
relate to people and questioning
what do with it, you know.
9
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:30.480
Where does it go?
And fear, and thinking about the fear.
10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.679
I have a very simple
psychological mathematics:
11
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.799
Anger plus fear equals hatred.
12
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.679
But does it control me
or do I bow down to it?
13
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:47.520
Do I let it be my God?
And there's another way, there's another.
14
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:50.000
But it's very powerful.
And I think many of us it comes up
15
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:53.320
and it comes up and it's very easy
for me to go to violence
16
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.359
into this and violence either
in how we think and how we act
17
00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.479
or also even act
to make acts of violence.
