Practical Anger

On the road today, there was some guy nearby who missed a turn because the guy ahead of him only just made it through the traffic lights. You could hear this guy then screaming at the successful turnee about being a fucking moron.

As I do, I just quietly said "He can't hear you". Then I argued with the angry guy who couldn't hear me, about his target being fucking slow, but not a fucking moron. Or maybe they were a slow fucking moron. But the problem was slow - because a fast moron would have been fine. Not that it mattered at all because being angry here doesn't fix anything at all.

Eventually I added anger to a list of things that society in general could benefit from training with. I think the list includes left vs right, stop vs go, basic counting (for supermarket queues), and heaps of other stuff that I forget now. I have wondered how I could volunteer my time to help the world by teaching these things for free.

Practical anger would be a good course. Like the situation above - no benefit to your anger. Mobile phone inexplicably fucked up - might help to thump it after trying all other options.

I don't think a TAFE would let the course run - but a Neighborhood House might.
