Anger is an acid that can do more damage to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything it is poured into.
(Mark Twain)
I had the wonderful idea of eating a tasty cream cake with strawberries next to a big glass of wine, my mind wandered about it while I could remember the sensation of the cake on my taste buds, to make the experience more emotional I will would watch an episode of the kdrama When the Stars Gossip while I would savor my glass of wine, but I was so angry that I couldn't do it, so my dissatisfaction started from that point, where a simple repressed desire of not being able to have a glass of wine with a cake brought out my anger for many things that life was putting me through. All this happened while I was waiting my turn to see the doctor who had kept me awake that morning.
As I usually express my feelings with my face, I think an older lady who was there in the waiting room noticed and brought up a topic of conversation, in two minutes it was not only the lady who was talking to me but two other people joined the conversation, they were curious about why I was there in that office, At that moment I had to give them a summary of my case and I was so dissatisfied that I told them that I could not eat many things, and as I thought that they were my colleagues of appointment maybe they had forbidden the same as me, so I asked them how they did, to which the oldest lady of the place told me: daughter, life is short, time passes very fast, do not stop too much to the doctors, do not worry so much and grab and eat what you want even if it is only for a day, indulge yourself even if it is only once, do not repress yourself, then continue with your diet, but live this moment as you wish so that later you will not have regrets of what you could not do.
Time goes by very fast, let's live the best we can, we let's live with joy and do all the things we want to do with the rest of our lives.
Those words were enough to agree with a person with so many years of experience who was giving me a life lesson in that waiting room in the morning: , I thought yes, we are human and we usually get angry about many things, about the weather, the noise, the stupidity of stupid people, what happens to us, what does not happen to us, what should be or not be, there are so many things that make us angry and it is normal to get angry, however we should be thankful that despite everything, we breathe, and as we have little time to waste it like this, it is better to discard everything that makes us angry and give importance to everything that really makes us happy even if it is imperfect, even if it is not what we dreamed, because yes, life is short and only we are the guarantors of overcoming all these things and be resilient, maybe we will get angry and say whatever comes to our mouth but our anger does not last so long, so when someone makes me angry with his disloyalties I will know what to do, I can pass my anger quickly because if I leave it in my storage too long it will eventually do more damage to me.
Well this is my participation in the proposal 242 of #weekend-engagement, see you in a next opportunity, happy holiday to those who have a long weekend, how exciting, greetings and blessings.
