You are not a violent man. You are a tired one.You hold down a job. You love your family. By every outside measure, you are fine. And yet there is a version of you that shows up in the worst six seconds, the one who snaps at the people he would take a bullet for, who feels the heat climb his neck in traffic and at the dinner table, who says the thing, sees his kid flinch, and spends the rest of the night quietly hating himself for it.
