Too much anger in the world.

You know what I think it is? Our society, our capitalist society where everyone is running as fast as they can to keep up with the joneses, where good is never good enough, and someone is always out to screw you. I get the anger, but have found it's self consuming, it does more damage to me than all the rage I can throw at anyone else. Someone once told me anger only consumes the vessel in which it's contained.

I've been working on trying to be kind, on trying to rid myself of hate and anger, on trying to not be that guy. Some folks though, they just really bring it out and yes, I admit, I silently wish the worst kind of Karma on those folks.

You're an inspiration Potter.

And a better man than me.
