Anger and Forgiveness: Resentment, Generosity and Justice- Martha Nussbaum
"The struggle against anger often requires lonely self-examination. Whether the anger in question is personal, or work-related, or political, it requires exacting effort against one’s own habits and prevalent cultural forces. Many great leaders have understood this struggle, but none more deeply than Nelson Mandela. He often said that he knew anger well, and that he had to struggle against the demand for payback in his own personality. He reported that during his 27 years of imprisonment he had to practise a disciplined type of meditation to keep his personality moving forward and avoiding the anger trap"
Nussbaum states that all anger or sentiments of rage are seeded in the need for vengeance. She uses multiple stories about Nelson Mandelas life to instruct on how if Mandela had resorted to his baser instincts, it ultimately would have ruined his vision and cause.

Generational Trauma
-
"My motherʼs hatred of guns was something more than the expression of a delicate feminine sensibility. Her own mother had been murdered in front of her and her two brothers when she was fourteen. The killer was her father,...He walked in the back door one evening and killed his wife as she was cooking dinner, waited while his children ran out into the fields, then laid down beside her in some simulacrum of spent desire and shot himself in the head"
Wimans The Limit is a at times disturbing essay where he describes his families pain and suffering at the hands of guns and the trauma that follows the family around through the stories of murder and pain given to him by his family along with living as close as he could to a new spark generational violence at the hands of his best friend John towards his father.
