Why do people succumb to anger?


thoughts

It feels so easy to slip into its grasp. But at the same time, from a distance, it looks quite stupid. Aren't we overreacting? What's the point of hitting one another, yelling at one another, going to war with one another? Yet when are up close, immersed in anger, we feel nothing but blissful rage, if that makes sense. Sweet revenge empowers us. Makes us feel as if we are at the top of the world. Maybe it is a survival mechanism. But I sure wish it weren't.

"did you get it yet? did you get it yet?"
get what?
"the letter!"
oh snap!
where could it be
not in inbox
not in "important"
but in spam of all places

well now to click the link
but i can't 
i can't
what if this
what if that
acceptance?
rejection?

pep talk
you got this girl!
if you don't get in
then just pshaw them away

several clicks
and seconds of mad typing pass
then the letter

stare at the first line for a minute
why must they circumlocute
yes?
no?
maybe?
can... it... be...?
face blank
just staring...

then a breakthrough
"GRANDMA FOR THE WIN!"
looks like pshaws are not needed
rather, huzzahs are!

HUZZAH!
