Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting, Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs) writes about the pros and cons of rage in The Guardian. I found this bit useful:
With violence, like other things, you tend to find your own level, and I was a crap fighter who usually fought other crap fighters. Nonetheless, there’s something very demeaning about it. And it’s never a good idea to give away what makes you angry. It only encourages people to wind you up.
Good tip, kids. Welsh seemed very likable when he was here in Atlanta. Luckily, I didn’t cross him.
