The Cat Doesn’t Care… Why Should You?

A metaphor I use in anger management is this, “If someone calls you an ass, you get angry.  But if someone calls you an ass in a language you don’t know, the worst you feel is confused, because you have no idea what they’re saying.  What’s changed here?  The only thing that has changed is your perception.”  You get angry based on what your definition of an ass is, that’s all.

The cat doesn’t care if you call it an ass… why should you.
