Rage fades. As brightly as it burns, it’s like trying to cook dinner over burning paper. You can’t do it – as bright and hot as it might get, it’s out too quickly. It’s just tinder, it’s not fuel.
So sometimes you just let it burn a little. You put it somewhere safe and you let it burn out. Packing it down can do the opposite – it can give you coal. Something with some sustained heat to it. And that’s exactly what you don’t want.
Sound and fury, signifying nothing. It is what it is. Don’t make it more.
