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.
beurre

or should i say ghee for that matter
take a spoon
take a slice of bread
smooth it over

creamy at first
then slowly shriveling
shrinking
melting
into yellowy softness
over the bread's pores

beauty at last
and scrumptious indeed

but you can only put so much
before it becomes gross
moderation,
moderation, my friend
is key
as is always
