Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

"I use 'status unknown, assume dead' often. It really makes my life a lot easier.

"If I get a rude customer at work, or an inconsiderate driver takes a parking space, or some egg hassles me on Twitter, I simply remind myself that there are billions of people on the planet, all milling about at random. The odds of my running into that person again are vanishingly small (and, even if I do, I likely won't remember or recognize them), so there's no reason not to assume that, as soon as they left my field of view, they immediately collapsed of an instant and painless heart attack and were absorbed silently into the earth, never to be seen again.

"It's a very freeing mindset - zen, you might say - and I recommend it for anyone with stress or anger issues."
