Tip of the Day

If you feel the urge to nibble on your seat belt while stopped at a red light, you might want to make sure that you’re not happened to be stopped right behind me.

Or else I will stare at you in confusion through the rear view mirror, and if you’re unlucky enough, I’ll have enough time to pull out a camera and snap a picture.

Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough today. But there’s always next time.

Topic #168: How long do you stay angry at someone or something? What’s the longest grudge you’ve ever held? Why do you think we hold grudges?

The length of time I stay angry at someone is highly dependent on what made me angry. If it was just a simple act, then I would most likely not get angry at all or get angry for a very short period. However, if the act shows that the actual person is a foul-moraled person, I would most likely stay angry until I feel the person has changed to become more moral and ethical.

I generally don’t show my anger explicitly by yelling or fighting with the person with whom I’m angry, but I will act in a way that is clearly abnormal. My anger is generally shown through a complete lack of support for and extreme putting down of the victim. I feel like this is more effective because, for most people, having the feeling of incompetence is much more traumatizing than just quarreling with someone.

I’m pretty sure the longest grudge I’ve held against someone is starting from whenever it started to right now. I don’t recall ever resolving any grudges. I think the point of a grudge is to stay away from people you don’t like based off their character. I don’t remember ever seeing someone who I originally saw as annoying and undesirable change into someone of great respectability, so I’m assuming that none of my grudges have ended.
