What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?
My favorite strategy I use to maintain my mental health is shouting at impolite strangers.
I came upon this discovery not five minutes ago at a downtown hotel in Çanakkale just across the Dardanelles from the Gallipoli Anzac beach that made Australia and New Zealand into nations and Winston Churchill into a laughing stock.
It was 1915 and the man was so obsessed with breaking the sick man of Europe, the Ottoman Empire, that he contrived to convince the French to aid in his miserable venture that lasted 10 months and wasted 200,000 lives on the Entente side alone.
All for nought.
Which is exactly the exact same result I got from shouting at the moronic impolite and totally lacking English locals.
I shouted at them because normal people open a door and then close it behind them.
Turks lack this barebone social grace and forget that the world doesn’t revolve around them in many instances (i.e., doors, littering, cutting in front of people standing in a line).
It does help if you show them how one must close the door behind them. It seems as though nobody ever showed them this ever before.
They do catch up quite fast if you show them how one closes the door. But shouting repeatedly seems to help.
It seems to me that education is an action that must be implemented in a manner opposite to that predicated by the greatest US President, Theodore Roosevelt:
