I never understood the concept of giving someone permission to ruin your day until I saw it in action.
Before we went into the pub my friend said:
“If they don’t have Rekorderlig I am gonna kick off”
Thereby setting the conditions for his rage.
The pub didn’t have Rekorderlig.
Which in my mind was predictable because it’s been four months now since they last had it.
But it was the trigger my friend needed to let loose a torrent of abuse.
It was like he wanted to get angry.
I think a key to maintaining your inner peace is being flexible and having few conditions that set you off.
