An angry person is a dangerous person,
whether that person crosses our path
or whether the angry person is ourself.

We look for someone to blame for the dangerous situation,
and direct our anger toward them.

hang "go away" on the door whenever we want,
clean and tidy often... or never,
launch from and return to,
are truly ourselves.
