Answer 2

The peculiarity of ill temper is that it is the vice of the virtuous. It is often the

one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who are all

but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect, but for an easily ruffled

quick tempered or ‘touchy’ disposition. This compatibility of ill temper with

high moral character is one of the greatest and saddest problems of ethics.

The truth is that there are two great classes of sins – sins of the body and

sins of Disposition. The Prodigal son may be taken as a type of the first, the Elder

Brother of the second.
