Never in anger

I said that I gained a lot from living with a personality that considered all the options and was willing to accept anything.  One thing was that I could take all the problems the world gave me, and never get angry, as long as I didn’t want to.  If you could accept anything, then you could forgive anyone for any mistakes they ever made.

To me, there just doesn’t seem to be a reason to get angry about the things that people often get angry about.  People get angry over other people’s opinions and other people’s personalities when to me it seems to be something trivial.  A misunderstanding.  A different way of seeing the world.

People get angry about all kinds of things, from not getting “what they deserve” to others getting “more than they deserve.”  From getting unlucky in life to getting unlucky in video games.  Yeah, all kinds of things.

I knew that I was able to overcome that, and so I figured that, while there may be some things that are “worth getting angry over,” I could at least avoid it for the things I didn’t believe to be worth it.  Like, why get angry at friends?  If you were my friend, I wouldn’t get mad at you, and I could forgive you for just about anything.  If I played Mario Kart and did something amazing to get first and then someone hacked a blue shell and I went from first to last, I could get over that.  If I got a miraculous win against a high ranked Blazblue opponent only to have it not count because they rage quit, it wouldn’t really upset me that much (it actually happened recently, crazy game, epic finish).

I disliked the personality of people who were easily offended or upset by things, and so I tried not to live like that.  I guess I did all right at it.

Yeah, I never really got upset.  And yet, there were a lot of things that annoyed me...
