I know that blowing up in a family vacation (inclusive of uncle, aunts and cousins) is not the smartest thing to do. But i did. i dramatically walked out and left everybody wondering. But why did it happen? I tried to dismiss it as one-off incident - a result of momentary loss of self control. But, ofcourse when you try to dismiss off something wrong you did, the world will make you realise that you don't get off that easily. This time, a friend of mine directed my attention to a similar blow up i had when on a college trip 2 years back, shocking my friends who had never pictured me so. ( But they had to learn sometime right?)
So against all my original intentions and generosity towards myself in forgetting the incident altogether, i was forced to take a deeper look. So what was similar in both blow-ups? i was on a vacation with a group. Hanging out with same people the entire day, not being alone. Small irritations had been borne. There was a sorta competitive game being played. And ok so i was not particularly winning in either. But that was not it. i have never been fond of losing ( really who is?) But i have dealt with it. Oh yeah! there was some kinda obnoxious behaviour by others. ( now i dont say i have never acted like that while playing!!) and i just lost it. The difference both times was one was sudden and other was building on though carefuly hidden for some time.
So what did i finally figure out? I dont know.. i am not archimedes!! this is all my deeper look says - on the next couped up group vacation during a competitive game with blabbering people, watch out!! (especially if i am losing)

There should be a better way to start a day than waking up every morning

one should recognise the failings of old age and hand over the mantle at the right time to a worthy successor. now u can carry this noble tradition on ur proud shoulders. bless u
welcome! and so the c and h obssession has got to u too? eye of tiger it seems.
letting out steam is important, nothing gets to me more than perfect well behaved, not a hair out of place, not a tone out of sync people. plus, it prevents others from taking you for granted.
actually eye of tiger is not inspired by Hobbes. dont try and read c & H into everything!!
I was just thinking, would outsourcing one's introspection sessions help!!!
