Restraint

Ann Brenoff: Restraint Is A Virtue I’m Working On It.

I was thinking how we are often told we don’t work hard enough,we procrastinate and should have worked ourselves into the ground.

On the other hand how often are we told to be more restrained?If anything we’ve been told letting out our anger,rage,irritation is good for us  or makes us feel better[what about the other?]

But now we learn expressing anger makes us more angry.Counting to ten or fifty is better.

Also,it’s bad for us to exaggerate our feelings..maybe to make a good story for our friend

Restraint is also known as temperance [nothing to do with  alcohol].

I suppose like the weather moderate is safer.We can’t control the weather but we can bite our lips

Sometimes I feel there are no grown ups anymore!
