Hey.I am not angry today

I am not angry today.
Why you ask?
I had an opportunity two days ago to either just walk away and brood in anger or just stand there and take the time to give a piece of mind to the offender.
The offender in this case was a very ignorant and disprespectful grocery shop employee.
Usually, I do not indulge in loud arguments with people who i think don't possess the mental capacity to understand a reprimand.
Such people are beyond repair and wriggling in squalours of a messed up life to such an extent that i think that no amount of reprimand is going to awaken them to loose that disconnect and develop a soul.
For , after long of doing this letting bad people get away with bad behaviour, i realized that this type of forgiveness did no good to anyone, me included.
IF at all it did anything, it allowed the unvented anger to simmer in me and sear my soul.
So, finally, i decided that i am going to give it back in good measure to the next jackass that comes my way.
And though i wasted a good 40 min of my time in the process and though other shoppers at the grocery store were staring at me , You know what, at the end of it, I came back home and felt proud that i made the no gooders know that i know that they are no gooders.
I am pretty sure that they will continue to be jackasses, and well, atleast i didnt let them get away with being a jackass with me.
you see, that is why i am not angry today.
I am happy
