Before you speak/write an angry word count ten
If still you angry be, count again.
Then I ignore granny and follow Twain😀
When angry, count to four; when very angry, swear.😀
Eff them.
Angry is mild.

My favorite advice is, if someone makes you angry, walk a mile in their shoes.

It took me a bit of time to sort out it was a Hal Holbrook production.
I caught Hal Holbrook doing it in the late seventies. Damn that was almost fifty years ago!

You'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.
