Serenity Now - Insanity Later

There was a great episode of Seinfeld that revolved around the idea that any stress could be mitigated simply by repeating "Serenity Now," although the character ends up shouting the phrase instead of saying it quietly, no doubt lessening the rage-controlling effect of the practice. The episode ends when this guy - who is clearly mentally ill - states, somewhat ominously: "Remember: Serenity now - insanity later."

I try to put this crap into effect in my life.  I don't want to go nuts over unimportant things but I also don't want to pretend that important things can be brushed off with a trite slogan.

Anger is real.
