Now we're talking @Lolest!... all along, this discussion should've been about self-control when provoked - nothing to do with politics, gender etc. Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.

He suggested that before you get worried about a problem, you need to ask yourself whether it is a 5-min, 5-Hr, 5-day, 5-mon, or 5-yr problem. So, the matatu blocks your entry int a roundabout; don't get stressed about it. That is a problem that will be over in 5min [you will enter the junction]. You might get to work late, but hey, that problem will be over by the end of the day! If you shove your way in front of the matatu; you will get bumped and the 5-min problem will become a 5-hr one as you try to sort out the mess and get your car towed away....and then it becomes a 5-day problem in the garage....and a 5wk problem as you try to get insurance claims paid! http://www.wazua.co.ke/forum.aspx?g=posts&m=88005
