I said that zeal outwardly looks like anger and exasperation, both with those whose love is good and those whose love is evil. But since the inner levels are different, there are two kinds of anger and exasperation. These are as follows:

1. The zeal of a good love is like a heavenly flame, which never lashes out against another, but only defends itself. Its defence against a wicked person is as if he rushes into the fire and gets burnt up. But the zeal of an evil love is like a hellish flame, which lashes out from itself and rushes at another, wishing to burn him up. 2. The zeal of a good love at once burns down and weakens, when the other leaves off attacking; but the zeal of an evil love lasts and is not quenched. 3. The reason is that the inner region of one who loves good is in itself mild, gentle, friendly and benevolent. So when the outer region to defend itself becomes rough, bristles, is aroused and acts severely, it is still tempered by the good experienced by the inner region. It is different with the wicked; their inner region is unfriendly, violent and harsh, breathing hatred and revenge, feeding on the pleasures they give. Even if they become reconciled, these emotions are still lurking, like fire in wooden logs under the ashes. Though these fires may not break out in the world, they do so after death.
