I don’t explode.
I don’t shout.
But small things irritate me more than they used to.
A comment.
A delay.
A tone.
Why does anger feel closer now,
even when nothing “serious” is happening?
Ossan’s answer
An ossan doesn’t think
anger comes from the small thing.
It comes from accumulation.
Things you accepted without agreement.
Moments you swallowed to keep peace.
Boundaries you never clearly drew.
Anger doesn’t arrive early.
It shows up
after patience has already been spent elsewhere.
Often, anger isn’t saying
this is too much.
It’s saying
this has been too much for a while.
