Yelling at a Stubbed Toe

People who do this are over-reactors. If they are yelling about a stubbed toe and not something else, then they have a problem. Perhaps it’s medical, and their toes are incredibly sensitive, in which case they should invest in some steel-toed shoes. Perhaps they are normally calm people but have a hair trigger, in which case they are probably doing okay, but they might want to check out that seething anger that lies beneath the surface. Perhaps they yell about everything, in which case they have anger issues and should work on getting those resolved. Life is a beautiful and joyous thing, and if being alive wasn’t considered better than the alternative, then a whole lot more people would be committing suicide. So why are you so angry? Why don’t you feel the joy and beauty of life? Something’s wrong, and you should take care of it before you’re on your deathbed and only then realize what you’ve been missing.
