Anger

Billy got into a disagreement with the guy who managed the gym. The guy didn't believe Billy's complaint and was rudely dismissive. 

Billy got impulsively mad and said angrily, "Look buddy, you don't believe me? How about a picture I took of the problem? 

He looked at his cell picture and responded. "Oh!"

I'll get my guys to fix it put in his earbuds, he turned away to resume his workout, started humming to the inaudible music. Left hanging without an acknowledgement of the guys impulsive oblivious response Billy kept thinking. Not why but let it go, it's a thought so fall back to the prior state of mind. Watch it unravel and replaced with other thoughts and sensations. 

So rude and so what? Why hold onto the image and events of the past? He's a piece of trash. 

Let it go, breathe and calm down, Billy thought. Be present.
