Put wisdom between anger and reaction
Sage helps you talk through anger, resentment, difficult people, and conflict with AI philosophers. Start with Marcus Aurelius when the next response needs restraint, not heat.
Pause before the reaction
Slow the moment between trigger and response before an angry text, harsh sentence, or impulsive decision creates more damage.
Separate injury from judgment
Use Stoic questions to distinguish what happened, what you think it means, and whether anger is helping you see clearly.
Choose a stronger response
Turn the heat into restraint, a boundary, a clean conversation, a delayed reply, an apology, or the decision to get help.
Choose an anger lens
Anger needs a pause before it needs a speech
Use Marcus for restraint, Buddha for aversion, Aristotle for proportion, or Socrates when the anger depends on a story that needs examination.
Marcus Aurelius
Best for provocation, difficult people, control, restraint, reputation, and choosing not to be ruled by the trigger.
Buddha
Best for resentment, aversion, compassion, the hot-coal effect of anger, and not feeding the loop.
Aristotle
Best for deciding whether anger is proportionate, excessive, deficient, or asking for courage and justice.
Socrates
Best when the anger depends on a story about disrespect, entitlement, betrayal, fairness, or what someone meant.
Reflection process
Use it when the trigger is still hot
Anger narrows attention. Sage helps widen it before you act: what happened, what you believe it means, and what response would still respect your values.
Name the trigger and the urge: what happened, what you want to say or do, and what damage that response might create.
Separate facts from judgments: the event, your interpretation, the value at stake, and what you cannot control.
Choose a lens: Marcus for restraint, Buddha for aversion, Aristotle for proportion, Socrates for the story.
Pick one response: wait, breathe, write without sending, set a boundary, apologize, leave the situation, or ask for real support.
Free to try. Useful when the same anger keeps returning.
When anger may become harm, get real support now.
Sage is for philosophical reflection, not therapy, anger management treatment, domestic violence intervention, safety planning, crisis care, or emergency support. If you might hurt someone, feel out of control, are in danger, or there is abuse or coercion, step away if possible and contact emergency services, a crisis hotline, a trusted person, or a qualified professional.
