Why Are People So Damn Angry?

Some people are so damn angry because they believe what they have been told about what they deserve.

Other people are so damn angry because they believed what they were told about what they deserve.

I am so damn angry because I just realized that I don't deserve nothing!
Okay, not really.
About the angry part.

I don't deserve a dang thing!

However, all gifts given freely - from the hand of random chance or other philanthropists - are gratefully accepted.

I draw a distinction, however, between what a person deserves and what a person is owed. At work, they don't pay me because I deserve it. I don't deserve their money any more than they deserve my time! But for the sake of expediency, we've each agreed to hold our own nose on that one.

OK I ended up getting carried away on "deserve" and it turned into its own damn post.

But I emphasize, limom, the thoughts in that post are not directed at your comment!
