36、ns to all of us its part of the human experience.One thing that annoys me is when people talk during a movie. Or cut me off in traffic.

37、ret to finding peace of mind: see the glass as already broken.See, the cause of our stress, anger and irritation is that things dont go the way we like, the way we expect them to.
