Granting happiness.

Somehow, something that eats at my happiness is rugby at Loftus Versfeld.

Loftus is the home stadium of the Blue Bulls. It’s just down the orad from where I live. When there is a match on, and I have to drive through the masses of cars and ‘freelance parking assistants’ and pedestrians, I immediately feel very annoyed and aggressive.

This does not happen every day, of course, and most of the time it has no effect on me. But when I do get mixed up in it, I get annoyed.

I’m not a rugby fan, and much less a Bulls supporter, which doesn’t help. But why can’t I relax and join the people in their enjoyment?
