The day after a bacchanalian evening, a person might be worried about what he or she said or did the night before. So it is with anger. “I can’t believe I said that!” or “I can’t believe I did that!” In both the case of drunkenness and the case of anger, a person is not thinking clearly. In both cases, deeds done or words said cannot be taken back. In both cases, the results can be devastating.
Don’t drink and drive. Likewise, Don’t be angry and do or say much of anything at all!
With Love,
P. Gustav Mueller, author of The Present
