EP027_EN_Hephaestus – How to control anger

“2212 Hephaisto” is an Apollo-type asteroid (meaning its orbit crosses that of Earth). In mythology, Hephaestus was the god of fire, volcanoes, metallurgy, and metalworking. He was considered the blacksmith of the gods, the one who forged weapons, armor, and divine objects.When Hephaestus is rejected and cast down from Olympus, he has every reason to be destructive; instead, he retreats to his forge and creates, becoming indispensable to the gods. Hephaestus therefore “controls” anger not by repressing it, but by channeling it into action.He also does not act on impulse or lose control; rather, he defines a strategy and plans…His emotions are not suppressed, but neither do they lead to destructive reactions; instead, they are internalized and examined with clarity, transforming into a thoughtful, productive, and constructive response.
