Hi D: So glad to hear you are no longer in pain. Boredom is not fun, but it is temporary. How nice to know you can go home soon. You'll be home again to your cat's delight, noisy or not, lol.
This is a great insight you've had. Now that you know how you can sometimes react, you have a choice. That is what I meant when I wrote about going into my room to calm down instead of hurting some innocent bystander. I have figured out it is my responsibility to take care of myself and how I react. I own it. I can only change myself, no one else. We are all on our own journey. Some are more advanced than others in their journey. Some want to learn to be a better human being, some don't want to know - it's too much hard work to change. etc. That's why I like to smile and be kind to people because you never know - they may be having a much more difficult day than I am. I still believe in sending out good vibes as much as I can.
In these postings, we can't see the body language, we can't hear the voice. We can easily mistake the tone of a post.
So don't be too hard on yourself. As you say, you have time on your hands and may be reading more than there is. There are still legitimate reasons to react angrily. Think of Martin Luther King. His anger was for the right reasons. He wanted justice, equality for the downtrodden.
Thanks for letting us know how you are doing.
