Heat and pressure can turn coal into diamonds, but rage works differently. It builds, sharp and relentless, until it burns through everything in its way. And when the fire finally dies down, what’s left isn’t softer. It’s colder, harder, and impossible to unmake. Socrates knew that kind of transformation, warning that “The hottest fury has the coldest end.” You don’t always choose it, but once you’ve been there, you understand exactly what he meant.
