Lately, I have been dealing with a lot of anger. I want revenge and justice for bad people. But I am just a software engineer; not even a manager or producer, let alone an executive. I cannot do much about it. They are skilled at manipulating the situation to their advantage. They have crafted the art of layering lies, bending the truth. Anything I do would result in more people being harmed, and bad people might lose a few million dollars; but it’s just a drop in the ocean for them. When I was a kid, I had a book written by Bruce Lee. I do not remember the details; I searched on the Internet and found nothing. One moment stuck in my mind: he was on a boat and he was upset about something and he was punching the water. He realized that no matter how much he punched water, he could not do too much with it. While I was trying to find the quote from the book, I found a lot of other quotes; they are in the similar direction: be like water, and nobody would be able to do anything with you. So I am trying to figure out how to make this anger go through me and let me move on and focus on what I need to do and become back to productive thinking. I understand that my brain is trying to make things fair; it’s trying to get revenge. It is human nature. I understand that trying to get revenge is always ending up all sides involved in the process suffering. If somebody hurts you, just let it go through you and move on with your life. Trying to make it even is not productive. My emotions are telling me a different story.
