So do you think anger works better than hurt? It certainly makes you feel a bit stronger maybe (well, maybe only less weak and/or powerless, not stronger), but it also leads to bad attitudes and irrational decisions that usually only make things worse. With hurt, you usually keep your head, but you feel all emo and shit in the process. I suppose they both have their merits, at certain times. Anger feels a bit better to me, I think, but then my general malaise in turn affects other people and spreads ripples of unnecesarry animosity. Hurt, on the other hand, makes me feel like I'm back in high school, but at the same time doesn't allow me project my bad mood onto anyone else, and I can usually keep some semblance of a sense of humor in that frame of mind as well (albeit a self-deprecating sense of humor, but at least that makes people laugh and go, "Aww"). Sigh... it's a paradox.

Random thought of the day: Existentialism is a bitch, as is irony (though at least I can admire irony, even when it does kick me in the ass).
