Here is the context from the book I am reading:
Character A: Watch your temper.
Character B: Anger is relative. Others are mad enough to kill, but not I.
What is meant by “Anger is relative?” It sounds incomplete. I know “relative” means “in comparison to,” but obviously the character doesn’t say what exactly anger is relative to.

This is why i hate english sometimes, you’re not wrong in your assessment, but the term “anger is relevant” just refers to factoring on the possibilities as to why someone is angry, it can also include yourself. For example, you could be yelling at a store clerk you’ve never met for bagging your product too slowly, but you’re not angry at them. You were looking for a reason to project already existing anger and until you find and address the root of it, you’ll just continue being angry. Anger in a person is relative to their personal dilemmas (recent and long ago).
I’m not the best at explaining with few words so i hope it was all cohesive.
