Think of winning the war not just the battle.
You stare at your opponent not listening to a word he is saying.
You try to stay firm on your principles, but they are losing their holding on the ground.
Your knees start shaking.
You ask yourself an internal question.
“Am I going to explode?”
“Why can’t I be free of this anger that is boiling inside me?”
You start fiddling with yourself.
Crack!
You are full-on anger.
