If someone angers you, they control you.
All the things I resent most about out-of-control government and the politicians who support it, grow it, or simply fail to deal with it, what angers me above all else is the knowledge that all of this waste and ruin is entirely preventable.
As a sensitive person around other people, you feel their desires, you feel their angers, and you feel their frustrations. You begin to believe that these desires, angers, and frustrations are yours.
The white man is too intelligent to let someone else come and gain control of the economy of his community. But you will let anyone come in and take control of the economy of your community, control the housing, control the education, control the jobs, control the businesses, under the pre-text that you want to integrate. No, you outta your mind.
Being in school, whenever I laughed or smiled, I would turn to find someone staring at me with this terrible hatred and disgust.

I think that drove me to terrible anxiety.
If someone's different from you and it scares you or makes you mad, that's God telling you to take a closer look. If you're scared or mad, that's about you, not about the person who scares you or angers you.
Sometimes you look at me and it's like all the bullshit gets stripped off and I'm left with what's underneath and I kind of like what I see. Someone who actually fails. Someone who has absolutely no self-control. Someone who says real dickhead things like 'this is complicated.' I like that part of me, you know. I like the fact that I know I can't control you or how I feel about you and that doesn't freak me out.
You can't control everything. You can't control how someone feels about you. Or what makes them tick. You can only control how you react, how you act, how you think and feel.
When you're interviewing someone, you're in control. When you're being interviewed, you think you're in control, but you're not.
Here's the problem: Profiteers haunt America, and for everything we try to control, someone's going to profit from it, more than you control it.
If you control the food, you control a nation. If you control the energy, you control a region. If you control the money, you control the world.
Showing a lack of self-control is in the same vein granting authority to others: 'Perhaps I need someone else to control me.
Emotional control is essential for attaining higher levels of mind. The thing that the teacher looks for in a student is the degree of self-control, not coldness that someone has.
He who angers you conquers you.
When a man angers you, he conquers you.
If it's in your control, why do you do it? If it's in someone else's control, then who are you blaming? Atoms? The gods? Stupid either way. Blame no one. Set people straight, if you can. If not, just repair the damage.
Someone like Donald Trump can't control the way I show love to my brother. He can't control the way I feel about my neighbors.
