“A few weeks ago I heard an interesting statistic about anger: our bodies allow us about 7 seconds to decide whether we’re going to get angry about something (i.e. a person cutting us off on the highway). If we choose to get mad, our body releases chemicals that then linger in our bodies for 3-4 hours! It seems to me, then, that anger is truly a choice, and rarely is it the appropriate choice, especially for situations involving mini-vans (my personal peeve) or Ohio drivers.”
