76. I try to remember one of my mom's sayings.
Wed Oct 31, 2018, 08:04 AM
Oct 2018

"Whoever angers you controls you." Another good saying is, "Hating someone is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die."

It's quite difficult some days, but I try to keep my emotions in check and deal with things rationally. Dolt 45 and his kooky cultists thrive on anger and hatred. Just witness how much joy it gives them to "trigger the libtards." Don't give them what they want.

Thanks, rivers. Cha Oct 2018 #1
