"Before you embark on a journey of revenge...". - Confucius

Designed for the thoughtful individual, this mug serves as a daily reminder of the Confucian emphasis on self-examination, restraint, and the heavy consequences of unchecked anger. In the tradition of the Analects, which emphasizes that the superior person seeks truth and righteousness rather than succumbing to base impulses, this quote acts as a stoic anchor for your day.
