The Contract Went to the Guy Who Knew the Right People and I'm Supposed to Just Accept That - a story about anger at injustice

Anger at injustice is valid — but what you do with it decides whether it breaks you or sharpens you. The goal isn't to stop feeling it. It's to make sure it builds something instead of just burning.

“Iron, when heated in the flames and pounded, becomes a fine sword.”

- Nichiren Daishonin, 'The Three Kinds of Treasure', WND-1, p. 851
