Heard this a few days ago and it has stuck with me.
The definition of anger: An emotional punishment you give yourself for someone else’s behaviour.
Kinda makes my little road rage about someone not using their indicator feel a little stupid.
I think there are times when anger might be an appropriate response. But how many times is it just unnecessary self punishment? How often does it linger too long? How much mental energy is used to hold on to angry thoughts?
And who ultimately pays the price for being or staying angry?
