Aggression

We are only just beginning to understand the power of love because we are just beginning to understand the weakness of force and aggression.
~ B. F. Skinner

The other day I posted something on Facebook that I probably shouldn't have.  Or at least that I thought better of later on.  Afterward, I wrote to my friend Mimi that I was probably being passive-aggressive in posting it.  And then and there I decided not to do that.  Hiding snide comments in the guise of innocent observations or commentary is unseemly.  I know that when other people do that it really bothers me and so I don't want to behave like that. 

Instead, I am now committed to being more active-aggressive.
