Are you angry at someone because their armpits smell, or their breath is bad? What’s the point of your anger? That’s just how their body works—such odors come naturally from certain conditions. But you might say, “Yes, but they have reason, and they should be able to fix it.” Fair enough—then use your own reason to help awaken theirs. Point it out to them kindly and guide them. If they listen, you’ve helped them—and you’ve done it without needing to get angry.
