Mad?

When someone is mad and seems to stay that way, it’s probably serving them in some way.

“What are you mad at?”

It’s easy to get an answer, and it’s rarely the real answer. It’s not because they are lying to you…​ it’s because they’ve decided. Decided on a villain. The villain is just a receptacle for misplaced anger. The villain justifies and validates their anger and gives them permission to fume.

Don’t forget, putting a villain in the crosshairs is much easier than peeling back the layers.
