Don’t get Mad. Help. (Day 287)

Don’t get mad? As if. Help the ones who just pissed me off? Hardly.

The state of the union as it stands is such a rich environment to become mad, right? There’s a lot of angry going around these days.

So many blogs, videos, tweets, Facebook posts, etc, etc, etc… so much mad in the world.

How much of our anger helps? Any? How much gets done because we’re angry? Do we NEED to become angry in order to help? Does our anger shut down our kindness-engine?

Sit with these questions. Start discussions at work.

Those things would be helpful, yeah?
