I sometimes...increasingly frequently...discover that I've let my emotions take complete and utter control of my good senses. Anger, annoyance, whatever...it captures the ability to dictate how I behave and how I speak to other people. A guy I consider to be generally a pretty nice guy, that would be me, turns into a banchee...screeching, screaming, behaving badly. People I like, people I love, people I don't know...any or all of them can be the subject of my scorn.
This is not new...but it's becoming more common. Could it be the insanity in our political system? Could it be the lack of fairness in our social system? Could it be growing impatience at my inability to completely change the world? Or could it be me...something about me.
All of this reminds me of some of the words to a Greg Brown song...."I don't know this guy." He's speaking of himself.
