Anger Management: The Beginning -- Post 5

I realized something else last night. Do you know what else makes me angry? Anger management books -- they always think they're right. What is that? You can't pinpoint someone's anger in a book like that. It's just ridiculous. The books say I should avoid my triggers but how can I avoid people? People, I tell you. I just don't understand. Clearly, most often, it's people that make other people angry. How are people supposed to avoid other people? It doesn't make any sense. And granted, I hate people in general, and this is something I've just accepted all my life, and I don't even want to avoid them. How are other people supposed to avoid them? People that actually like them, in general?

However, I am trying. I'm actually trying. I'm reading the books, despite my better judgement telling me to burn them and never look back. I'm taking their advice, despite the fact that my better judgement tells me it will do absolutely nothing for me. I am trying. I'm trying something new, actually, something from my book about Buddhism: as soon as I'm done being angry, I go and find the person with whom I am angry and apologize. And let me tell you, people think it's weird. I don't think it's doing anything, but it's only been a few days, so we're gonna keep on trucking.
