The word temple can be used in various senses although some of them are related. Normally when speaking of temper, reference is made to what is considered by many religions as a virtue and which means acting with Balance and serenity in the face of various events that life can entail. On the other hand, when we speak of an element in tempera, it is meant that that element was previously worked in a specific way to alter its main characteristics, as happens with the steel tempered or tempered.
However, tempera is understood in most cases as the first meaning of the word. The notion of temper comes from that of temperance. Temperance is, as said, a characteristic of the personality of a person normally considered a virtue by various religions. This is so since temperance involves acting with patience, good sense and serenity in the face of events that can alter one both psychically and emotionally (for example, an accident, the death of a loved one, or various frustrations one has to deal with throughout the lifetime).
The temper is then the ability that a person can have to moderate the emotions (attitude always well regarded by religions) and act in a measured and moderate way, without losing the peace internal and without providing major conflict or aggressiveness to a situation that is already considered painful or conflictive enough. However, temper is never understood as a total lack of feelings or as coldness, if not that it supposes the right measure, the balance between those two worlds that a person as a high being possesses and that he must make coexist in the best way. Possessing temper means having emotionality, feeling, pitying the other, but always maintaining an attitude of strength and spiritual solidity.
