Abstract

It Seems to Heywood Broun
Broun, Heywood | July 31, 1929 issue

Any well-regulated person should become angry at times. Only the individual wholly devoid of imagination can go through life completely unruffled. But anger isn't the same thing as hatred. It is a flash of feeling which goes over the dam upon the instant. No man who has expressed his anger with reasonable fluency need go back to it again. Revenge is a form of procrastination. The man who eases his soul by paying off a score at the end of twenty years confesses that he didn't have the nerve or the mental alertness to handle the situation when it lay immediately in front of him.
