August 26, 2021 by

Angry men all come from the same source of disillusionment: “This isn’t what I expected and I’m pissed, y’all.” No one respects you? Grrrr. You don’t have a celebrity lifestyle? Feeling hot. Someone told you you’re getting replaced? Grab a torch. But where does this all start? Look at self-esteem.
