Editor,
My wife has communicated this phrase to me more then once over the course of our 30-year marriage. I googled it and discovered a lot of interesting information including a song by Selena Gomez (Check it out). The message in the song version I saw is sung by two young boys. Do you ever wonder what children might be thinking about supposed adults whom are managing the world?
The anger around the world and in the United States (specifically) is getting kind of old for some time now.
So next time you think about being angry, give it some thought first. You might achieve a lot more with the person on the receiving end of your anger with a kinder approach. Also, you might feel a lot better about yourself.
Take this advice from someone who is pretty good at getting angry himself and has learned the hard way that there is often a better way to approach a problem at hand. Think positive.

Well written, Mr. Thom, but it’s hard to kill them with kindness when many of “them” base their anger on fake news and hatred and logic and facts are just annoying concepts standing in their way.
Terence,
I never thought I would see the day that you would admit that you and your fellow rabid Trump supporters base your beliefs on fake news and hatred with facts being an annoying concept.
Congratulations! You are making progress on joining the real world.
Mr. Thom and dear readers, I present Exhibit No. 1. If you’ve got a hoax, you’ve got a believer in Taffy (just ask him about his Republican to Democrat party switcheroo). Facts and logic aren’t allowed in Taffy-land, but hate and TDS are more than welcome. Taffy, many thanks for your testimony and for proving my point. BTW, too bad you haven’t found courage.
Poor Terence, you are having a relapse. BTW, did your petulant child take his ball and go home yet?
Speaking of fake news--is the election over yet?
Mr. Thom and dear readers, I present Exhibit No. 2. If the fake news didn’t tell Tommy what to say, Tommy would be speechless. Well, except for the insults and blather Tommy directs at writers when Tommy has no argument to support his position. Thanks, Tommy, for your testimony and for proving my point. Too bad you haven’t found courage. BTW, maybe the stolen election is over, but the fair and honest election is not.
Terence,
Can you bring yourself to be honest and tell us if you really believe the garbage about your so called fraudulent election or do you just like to throw it out there in hopes of someone getting upset and replying to you?
