Anger

Following was a code of conduct which I tried to adapt to myself. Found it while cleaning my PC and I saved it to read 04.09.2005 8.30 (pm?) an exact 14 years ago of this post. What co-incident! Thought to post it for the benefits of others and myself again. It worked for me and served its best!
