When one is going through a rough patch, it is easy to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation. Stuff that one would have brushed off in better times drives one mad. The rage one feels at life seems to to be fueled by the provocateur. The provocateur seems to be blissfully unaware of the turmoil he is causing, which makes the situation even more infuriating. It is the simplest thing in the world to project one's state of mind on to the world. But, just being aware when one is doing that is powerful. It doesn't make the anger completely disappear, but at least one stops beating oneself up for being angry.
