Above all, to watch. To try to understand.
To never look away. And never, never, to forget.

Anger is something that each one of us has experienced -
some of us only occasionally, some almost daily.
Can we eliminate all anger? Probably not.

but at some animate entity.

They knew that it was a mortal sin to marry
someone of a different skin color.
