Only so much until it's gone...
It is important not to suppress your feelings altogether when you are angry. It is equally important to avoid terrible arguments or expressions of outrage. You should steer clear of emotionally damaging behaviour. People forgive, but it is best not to stir things up to the point at which forgiveness is required. When you are raging, you need the love of other people, and yet furor fosters actions that destroy that love. It's like sticking pins into your own life rafts. Then, all that's left, is for the conscious mind to intervene. One is not helpless. Holding a grudge and harbouring resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people, but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us.

Moonlight dances in my eyes...
Here is a story that's stranger than strange.
Before we begin you may want to arrange:
a blanket, a cushion, a comfortable seat,
and maybe some cocoa and something to eat.
I’ll warn you, of course, before we commence,
my story is eerie and full of suspense,
brimming with danger and narrow escapes,
and creatures of many remarkable shapes.
Dragons and ogres and gorgons and more,
and creatures you've not even heard of before.
And faraway places? There's plenty of those!
And menacing villains to tingle your toes.
So ready your mettle and steady your heart.
It's time for my story's mysterious start.

Tired of standing still...
Do as little harm to others as you can; make any sacrifice for your true friends; be responsible for yourself and ask nothing of others; and grab all the fun you can. Don't give much thought to yesterday, don't worry about tomorrow, live in the moment, and trust that your existence has meaning even when the world seems to be all blind chance and chaos. Even when all you seem to be doing is for circumstances to unfold, for your life to finally start after a stream of stagnation. When life lands a hammer blow in your face, do your best to respond to the hammer as if it had been a cream pie. Because as it turns out, sometimes, the only way to make your dreams come true is to shatter them.
