Bothersome New Yorkers (Part II)
Today I would like to lodge a formal complaint against people who are constantly angry.
I understand that anger is not a problem peculiar to New York. However, anger seemed to have reached epidemic status within the confines of the greatest city in the world. It seems as though there is a healthy, or rather, unhealthy number of people who are quick to become angry for a variety of reasons.
Some New Yorkers get angry because they feel that they aren't receiving the respect they deserve.
Some New Yorkers get angry because they think that somebody looked at them the wrong way.
Some New Yorkers get angry because of something that happened ten years ago.
Some New Yorkers get angry for no reason at all.
Some New Yorkers get angry because they think it's cool to be angry. They wear their anger on their sleeves like a badge of honor. And in this game of anger, he who is angriest is coolest. This is the one that I understand the least.
Of course, everybody gets angry once in a while. But if I may offer a piece of advice, it is this:
Take a chill pill.
