Just hold a bit of ire inside.
A dash of salt makes all the difference.
Allow it to pulse within, but not overwhelm.
After all, life always offers something to be enraged about.
Why not use it to one’s advantage?
Table salt preserves food and makes it all the more palatable.
Spite can work the same way.
Retain some for that jolt of determined drive.
Likewise, perspective can be gained from its presence.
Even among rage, love remains.
Just as salt refines flavor, hatred allows kindness to shine.
Together, they season the world and make existence a dish to be appreciated.
Not exactly a story, but some great philosophical reminders. Liked it.
