Time for a poll!

Thanks for your great advice on quitting, flist! I.. m working through it. Mostly in my mind. Urg, I wonder what is it with this.. obstinate, opposed to change, stubborn bull-mind I have. My science heart tells me that horoscopes really make no sense, and then I come off as the most Taurean of all Tauruses and I have to grumble lowly to myself...

Huh! I hadn't thought about the duration of anger... I think I'm a lot more likely to forgive someone who hurt me than someone who hurt my loved ones, mostly because I tend to have to deal with the people that hurt me a lot more, and that tends to rebuild burned bridges... but.. there's also been cases where I have no desire to see those that hurt me ever again and I hold a cold, cold hate.

Still, I am much more likely to get violent/vicious when it's not directed to me... maybe because it's faster anger?

The hate that Does Not Die comes rarely in ones lifetime, thankfully, no? I have a couple of those, but... even so, I think they tend to die down as time goes by and I just.. put my distance and never go close again.

I am wondering myself if the jumping in the defense of other men is a young-pack thing. Adult males can take care of themselves, but younger males -in other species- still gather to hunt together and do things that adult males don't. So... maybe human males have such instincts as well? When they are still young they are much prone to jumping into fights and anger than when they are older...
