“An angry man opens his mouth and shuts his eyes.”

When I was younger, I was terrified to express anger because it would often kick-start a horrible reaction in the men in my life. So I bit my tongue. I was left to painstakingly deal with the aftermath of my avoidance later in life, in therapy or through the lyrics of my songs.
For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.
As a culture I see us as presently deprived of subtleties. The music is loud, the anger is elevated, sex seems lacking in sweetness and privacy.
You can survive with anger, but you can't live with it forever.
