Chinese Proverb of the Day highlights the meaning of “In the midst of great joy, do not promise anyone anything. In the midst of great anger, do not answer anyone’s letter.” The saying reflects how strong emotions can influence judgment and lead to impulsive decisions that may later be regretted. It suggests that moments of intense happiness can create unrealistic optimism, causing people to make promises they may not be able to keep. Similarly, moments of anger can cloud reasoning and lead to harsh or unwise responses that do not reflect one’s true intentions.
