re: #92 The Ghost of a Flea

Semi-serious answer: a lot of “angry all the time” people are having a great time. There may be a source of frustration that causes them stress, but their soothing mechanism is raging at people. The outward expression we associate with anger doesn’t mean they’re experiencing the health-damaging stress that’s the product of long-term parasympathetic arousal.
