But then, for the love of Linus, don't actually click send.
Quotable classic! LOL.
True, anger can be a fuel to get things done. But it's not a good fuel to use for long term sustainability. Blood pressure and stress are killers, my friend. There's got to be another way.
I have battled with an angry temperament my whole life. Stocked up on all kinds of CBT material. I'm 42 and as the mist and fog of testosterone is clearing with age, I can now see myself with a bit more sharper focus. It's hilarious. Sometimes I am baffled that I blew so much steam over something trivial! :-( Then the shame of getting angry follows shortly thereafter. Which then makes me angry with myself about the whole affair. Somewhat.
I've also noticed something interesting over the years ... that a lot of folks with what we call "shorter fuses" are often used for mild entertainment by others who deliberately provoke "short fusers". The sooner the "angros" realise that they are entertainment for others, the quicker they will recover from being reactionary personalities. Let the psychopaths find other forms of entertainment.
I grew up as an exercise-induced asthmatic kid, often sidelined in sports and games. I don't know whether this has shaped my mildly resentful, impatient and contrarian personality. (I am not ready to call myself cynical yet!) :-)
It has taken me decades of personal rehabilitation in the company of a loving, caring, understanding and forgiving wife.
God bless the Beauty whose job it is to tame the Beast! (I'm going to hug her right away!)
