My granny Torrelli says when you are angry with someone, so angry you are thinking hateful things, so angry maybe you want to punch them, then you should think of the good things about them, and the nice things they've said, and why you liked them in the first place.

Sharon CreechIt wasn't that I was stupid ... It was just that there didn't seem to be a lot to say that someone wasn't already saying.
Sharon CreechIt seems to me that we canโt explain all the truly awful things in the world like war and murder and brain tumors, and we canโt fix these things, so we look at the frightening things that are closer to us and we magnify them until they burst open. Inside is something that we can manage, something that isnโt as awful as it had a first seemed. It is a relief to discover that although there might be axe murderers and kidnappers in the world, most people seem a lot like us: sometimes afraid and sometimes brave, sometimes cruel and sometimes kind.
