"OPPOSING FORCES V"

Since this month, i started the blog by featuring angels and divine beings. And as far my perspective is concerned, I believed that there is always corresponding opposition that co-exists. Still, these are angels, on the contrary of being divine, thus giving them the tag demons.

Self-discipline is the source of a certain virtue. If you pursue self-mastery, most likely you with get to deal with these opposing forces. One by one, I'll post the details with their oppositions. And I hope you like what we can all learn with the topic being featured.

Virtue
- Patience (Patientia)

Annotation
- Peace, Mercy, Ahimsa, Sufferance

Patience 
- Pursuit of Peace

Characterization
- Forbearance and endurance through moderation. Resolving conflicts and injustice peacefully, as opposed to resorting to violence. Accepting the grace to forgive; to show mercy to sinners. Not killing or being violent in any way to any life form or sentient being; to practice moderation of meat consumption and consistent life ethic. Creating a sense of peaceful stability and community, rather than engendering suffering, hostility and antagonism.
VS.

Anger / Wrath (Ira) - Anger is the loss of rational self-control and the desire to harm others.

Representation: Satan

Satan, "the accuser", is the title of various entities, both human and divine, who challenge the faith of humans in the Hebrew Bible. In Christianity and Islam the title became a personal name, and "Satan" changed from an accuser appointed by God to test men's faith to the chief of the rebellious fallen angels ("the devil" in Christianity, "Shaitan" in Arabic, the term used by Arab Christians and Muslims).
