Anger Triggers

I can't say I'm a angry person atleast not anymore. I find myself more frustrated or bewildered than ever angry. It's too much trouble in my opinion to be angry and it's unhealthy as it strains your heart. My anger has always been a sort of silent rage that never comes out, it builds and builds and I thought would one day soon come out but after Charlie Sheen's meltdown I've refocused it sort of my own battle against the trolls. I no longer will be affected by the "trolls" and get angry because that's not "winning". I'm determined now on my own "crazy train" to not stop for any trolls while enroute or after I arrive at my destination.
What does make me angry though is intolerance, elitism, and instigators. Intolerance one of the world's big problems does strike a nerve. It makes no sense to me that people can't just accept that their are other belief systems and nationalities, without them we wouldn't have many of the things we have today. Elitism I'm not fond of either especially royalty or those with self appointed status of that figure themselves better than others. A crown or status doesn't mean your worth anything. Instigators I'm not a fan of either, they start problems for no reason, they bully others for personal satisfaction. They are one of the "trolls" who I try to not pay any mind to.
I can control my anger pretty well, when ever angry I usually just end up laughing which sort of calms me down somehow as in my mind they're bursting into flames. I've never really lost it on someone, I've wanted to but something just stops me.
If I could advise those who get angry I must advise them to just stop and let it pass, words cant hurt you and the people who anger you will get satisfaction from the response and it's not worth spending time on instigators.

RE: Freinds, In Number

    In my opinion, having a lot of friends is not as important as having good friends. I believe friendship falls into the quality over quantity category. I would much prefer one good friend than ten just friends. I look at it as there being a sort of inverse proportionality of the quality of friends goes down with the rise in the number of friends. Ive found that having many friends grants you more acquaintances than friends. The ten freinds probably arent going to know you or care about you as much as that one freind. I feel that one true freind can be have a bond as strong as a sibling but not that I would truly know being an only child. A sort of like how the gypsy from the Sherlock Holmes reboot says of Sherlock and Watson "brothers not in blood but in bond". Having many freinds is great and all but the few or one you can really depend on I find much more important.
   I know a few people with scores of friends, I think it does provide a certain "Ill never be with out one" having many friends but they seem to be more happy with their more closer friends. I know people with only a few friends. It seems though that people with more friends though are happy in a more overall level.
  I personally think people want and get a lot of friends just because the like to socialize and feel wanted. Can't fault them for wanting to be happy with lots of companions, I think most people want that to some degree. Some people who concentrate on only one or two friends I think just like the more closer relationships and like the security of the smaller sect trustworthy friends. Both ways are fine and I think people should do whatever makes them happy. I think maybe the people with fewer friends may want to be like the people with a lot of friends but I think their trust and focus will stay with the smaller group.
       My thought on friends rely on the smaller more trustworthy groups of friends. That's not to say I don't find the idea of having many friends appealing. I think it would be nice if only for the reach provided by knowing a lot of people from different groups. That may come across as a grasp for power but it stems from an interest in many walks of life. Though there will always be a focus from me on my small group of trustworthy friends. The group that I can say pretty much anything to and feel like my words are guarded and will be expectant of my dark humor and satirical comments. The ones that will volunteer instead of you having to ask and would visit you in the hospital if you were injured, something the fly-by-night mass group of friends who start to resemble name-less henchmen from a bad spy movie wouldn't do.
