Losing one's cool can be cool.

I like to lose my cool. Occasionally. Just to see if I’m still capable of becoming truly angry. It’s generally good to be calm, cool and collected. But maybe only 98 percent of the time. As for the other 2 percent. That’s reserved. A testing period. To determine if I haven’t lost the craft of anger. Actually, I’ve made it an art form. A way to achieve my goals in life. I use a burst of anger. Effectively. Some people think that because I claim to be calm, cool and collected, I’m supposed to be that way all the time. Which is a little bit ridiculous. After all, anger is one of the most effective tools in my toolbox. Especially when I encounter an exceptionally difficult and aggravating situation. –Jim Broede
