THREE TYPES OF ANGER

There are three types of people in the world. What three?

One who is like carving on a rock,
one who is like scratching on the ground and
one who is like writing on the water.

What sort of person is like carving on the rock?
Imagine a certain person who is always getting angry
and his anger last long, just as carving on a rock is
not soon worn off by wind, water, or lapse of time.

What sort of person is like scratching on the ground?
Imagine a certain person who is always getting angry
but his anger
does not last long, just as scratching on the ground is
soon worn off by wind, water, and lapse of time.

And what sort of person is like writing on water?
Imagine a certain person who, even though spoken to harshly,
sharply, roughly, is easily reconciled and becomes agreeable
and friendly, just as writing on the water soon disappears.
