Fed Up With Stupid

Angry. 

Yes you are.

So am I. 

We all are.

So what is making us angry?

Well, a lot of things really.
Being able to identify specific factors that make you angry help you cope with the anger, and give reason to the emotion which helps stave off the otherwise natural reaction that is to simply react to the emotion.

The ignorance of the law making process makes me angry. 

The bureaucracy that makes the laws worse through stupid, foolish, and ignorant interpretation makes me angry.

The leadership skills exhibited by people who have authority over me make me angry. 

And that's just a few general summarizations of what I could go into specifically for years on every type of law, regulation and policy making abuse - and that is so far only in America.

And that is so far without the politics of the day, the divided and dividing media spinning their anger generating BS, and without the problems of the rest of the world that somehow never seem as serious as my daily frustrations.

Nothing makes me old faster than anger and the insight of watching stupid at work, to the point they make things not work.

America is the worst for generating anger, but for the rest of the world.

We are often reminded - particularly by the frustrated - of how blessed we are, how much blessing we have, and how good we really do have it. The reason they focus on this so much is because they (we) have to focus on it to offset the frustration and anger that will otherwise bury us.

And so it is that I will not watch the media for another day. I will not engage with any government bureaucracy - except as demanded of me, I will not speak of the angering issues, and I will focus once again on the blessings we have.

What choice have we?
