And yet, here I am!

I've always believed that while you don't have to be incredibly nice to everyone that it is of no use to be incredibly mean and that the meanness does more harm to the person doing the expressing as opposed to the person receiving those expressions. Anger is such a 'decombustion', and I just don't understand the 'control' it appears to give people (albeit temporarily). A Buddhist monk once responded to a question about anger towards the Khmer Rouge. His response was one of not being angry, as the anger hurt him more than it hurt the Khmer Rouge. He instead said he felt sorrow.
