“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.”

Today I was super pissed off for dozens of reasons until I arrived at English class and read Emerson’s Self-Reliance.  I must have forgotten about everything, because as I was reading, I was awestruck that somebody could spin such a beautiful, true web with just words.  With that, I felt immensely better.
