"But you're too angry!"

[owlectomy]

I think from now on, I will not trust anyone who isn't angry. Hopelessness is not a first step. It may be the prelude to finding out where one is, but that's all. Nothing really good is ever easy -- but it's worth it. The other sort of thing is merely the old feminine (not feminist) game of Ain't It Awful.

I have that first line written down in a notebook of Pithy Things People Have Said. It is true I have a hard time trusting people who aren't angry about things (generally the same things I am angry about, natch :P).
