125. Sorry for you about your conditon
Thu Dec 7, 2023, 08:51 AM
Dec 2023

Anger is a very understandable, natural response, but anger will not help anybody, least of all you.

Forgive yourself, forgive your condition, do the best you can letting go of the self-destructive anger as soon as you can. Perhaps replace it with cold determination to do as much of that "too much to do" as you can. I'm sure even Norman Lear dying at 101 had more to do. We all do. We all get more done without anger. Anger is partially motivating and partially dulls our primary tool, intellect. On balance, cold determination gets more done.

Best wishes.
