It gets exhausting, so tiring, to hate everyone around you. So much energy sapped just from immediately disliking someone for the smallest thing. Too much for too long.

Strive to be better everyday. Learn a little everyday. Make the world a better place even just for a moment. Life is a miserable heap but it can also be what we make of it. Maybe not for long but a few seconds of peace in a storm, for you or a stranger, can often be worth more than anything money could have to offer.

Be kind to one another. Peace and long life 🖖

Exactly. I am unbelievably pissed off and angry at what's going on around me.

But why the fuck would I try to make it worse. That doesn't help anyone, least of all myself. A little bit of kindness can go a long way, both for those around you and yourself.

This is the difference between feeling angry and acting angry. With a little self awareness we can effectively decide how to react to our thoughts and emotions rather than let them drive our behavior reactively
