	Targum Press - Excerpt from Let's Face It
		The Talmud equates an anger-prone person to an idol worshiper, because his own will has become sacrosanct to him, and on the altar of his will he is ready to sacrifice his spouse, his children, his friends, and eventually his whole world.
		The eighteenth-century mystic, Rabbi Moshe Chaim Luzzato, wrote: "A furious person could destroy the whole world if he were able, because his intellect is not ruling over him at all, and he actually loses his rationality and becomes like all carnivorous beasts."
		The anger being excoriated here is the anger which destroys relationships, drowns out rationality, and makes a person say and do things she will later regret.

		The Torah states, “Moshe said to the Jewish people, “It shall be that if you hearken to the voice of Hashem, your G’d, to observe, to perform all of His commandments that I command you this day, then Hashem your G’d will make you supreme over all the nations of the earth.
		Reb Moshe Chaim Luzzato z’tl (RaMChaL) writes in his work Path of the Just that as much as one may think that he can take control of his evil inclination through his own efforts and abilities, he is mistaken.
		Moshe said to the Jewish people, “Divide yourselves into groups (keetos keetos) and be attentive to the words of Torah.” Another interpretation given by the Midrash is, “Moshe said to the Jewish people “Kasisu l’vavchem v’nafshechem — Smatter/break your hearts and your physicality for the sake of Torah.”
