On rage

or on acting out rage. Irvine Welsh’s principles in “I’m still Mr Angry.” And this rumination (my emphasis):

Another factor, however, was that I considered this guy to be patently confrontable, and let’s be honest, we make the judgment about the person as much as the situation. A harder-looking bastard, I would have thought twice. And that’s the real shame of it all; we like to think we treat everybody the same and that our rage is righteous and not about bullying, but that’s just the lie we tell ourselves to make us feel better.
