channeling anger

People have told me the best way to deal with anger is to not succumb to it, not to feed into it. Just channel it into something, anything positive. Some people work out, some meditate. These words are my attempt.

These are the things that piss me off: Passive aggressive assholes who can't talk about what's bothering them, instead--they let their anger build up and when you're not around write a letter to your boss behind your back, trying to get you in trouble. I'm pissed at people who act like they are doing something for the good of others--but really they want something in return. Selfish Fucks. It is the exception to be anything different. Everyone's out for themselves-maybe if I joined suit, I wouldn't have anything to be angry about.

I'm pissed about the next generation and how kids are addicted to video games and how their parents are just as addicted to the time away from their kids. We are raising a culture of anti-social morons that are going to be adults very soon, and we should all be pissed about this.

I can find a hundred things to be pissed about, but I'm mostly pissed that as I get older I have less fun and am pissed all of the time. I suppose I can choose to not be angry, but then I'm just ignorant and selfish like the rest of them. Being young and blissfully dumb was great, I was just too dumb to know it.

Will I ever be in a position of feeling appreciated? People are often too greedy, selfish and self-absorbed to even consider others. I blame it on the human condition and basic survival needs. I suppose it goes back to caveman being programmed to compete for food and shelter. Have we evolved? If not, is this lack of consideration how survival skills translate into modern society?

I have an internal conflict on this issue; on one hand, I want to be a good person and be considerate of others, on the other hand I think the way to earn respect is to demand it! You know, "NO MORE MR. NICE GUY"!

I want to achieve some balance where I can take what I need in life and also be there for others. Like when you are traveling on an airplane with a small child and you are instructed to put the oxygen mask on your face before proceeding to put in on the kid. Because if you die in the process of trying to save the kid, before long you're both dead.
