It's interesting you bring up this subject, and the points you mentioned.

Two weeks ago my face got a two inch slash to the bone just below my eye. Man was I pissed off. My girlfriend kept saying I was so lucky it didn't get my eye. I said "No, lucky is it missing me completely, or me not having got out of bed today."

But while waiting two hours... at the accident and emergency 5 ambulances came in, and they were just the ones I saw. I kept hearing "Can you feel me touching your toes." from the doctors and saw a guy strapped to a gurney who looked fine but had no feeling from the spine down.

A few days later when I had cooled off, I realised I was lucky and the guy on the gurney wasn't. His was bad luck. Probably driving to work the very moment someone decided to run a red light or something like that.

Today I decided to have an "angry free" day. It doesn't matter what happens I won't get angry. Yesterday a neighbour had cut down a tree on my property and I was FURIOUS working out what sort of death would be best for him. But I went and reported it to the police as he had been previously warned about tresspass. I felt good after that and decided it was someone elses problem now.
