The object of the heart\u2019s desire may change, but not the emotion. Anger remains anger, whether at yourself, another person, or an object; the emotion doesn\u2019t change. Therefore, the wisdom in dealing with the powerful emotion still applies thousands of years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn from Solomon\u2019s advice on how to avoid life\u2019s pitfalls.
