I was watching Dr. Phil the other day and he said it was time to get rid of my anger - in particular my anger over December 7th, 1941, a day that shook the world and plunged us into the war. I can't imagine the lives of those who woke up that morning to everything that was familiar, all of life's rituals that we take for granted, suddenly erased by the bombings of a nation gone mad. But it's time. Time to let the anger go and forgive a nation. Otherwise, as Dr. Phil says, the anger wins. Hold on a second, mom's sending me an email.
Wait a minute, what the hell is this?
To be continued.
