Cesspit of a Planet

It’s not always easy to get angry at the right person, even in a civilized way. Examples:

-it might be your boss and it is more tactical to stay quiet;

– the person may be dead;

– politicians are hard to reach on personal level;

– etc.

What we should not do is get angry at the next non-expecting fellow that happens to run into us. There is another way – you can transform the anger into physical work or exercise. I remember my father cutting wood and swearing. Well, we did need wood to warm up the house, but I think it was also his outlet for anger. Or my mother flattening steaks by beating them with a special hammer for steaks. Another wonderful outlet for her as well.

No wonder our planet is turning into a cesspit, if it is allowed to pour one’s emotional sewage all over the place!
