Things That Make Me Mad

You've been mad before. Sure you have. Are you mad now? (I hope not at me.) It's interesting the whole subject of being mad or going from not being mad to being mad and what causes "madness" (not insanity) to overtake us. When I stub my toe, I get mad. I say, "Who left that stupid book on the floor?" When the guy driving in front of me is going too slow, I get mad. I say, "Doesn't he know the speed limit?" When my favorite baseball player drops the ball, I get mad. I say, "Fire the manager." :P

And then there are other things that make me mad. When people lie. When people take advantage. When people don't follow through like they promised. When people ridicule. When people judge without all the information. Come to think of it, there are just a whole lot of things that make (and can make) me mad. (It's making me mad just thinking about it.) And I guess the point is that I need to be mad at the right things and forgive, forgive, forgive. I'm cooling off already.
