Text from article:
David Rice, a disabled Army paratrooper who has been on probation since joining the U.S. Department of Energy in September, also learned Thursday night that he had lost his job.
Rice, who has been working as a foreign affairs specialist on health matters relating to radiation exposure, said he’d been led to believe that his job would likely be safe. But on Thursday night, when he logged into his computer for a meeting with Japanese representatives, he saw an email saying he’d been fired.
“It’s just been chaos,” said Rice, 50, who had just bought a house in Melbourne, Florida, after he got the job.
Rice said he agrees with the Trump administration’s goal of making the government more efficient, but objects to the random, scattershot approach being taken.

You are arguing that you should forgive them, so that you are not at risk of punching them in the face.
That’s why I put “forgive” in quotes in my first post. I know I’m not using the word correctly. That’s the joke.
But it's funny because it's true. You should forgive, because you would be better off if you did. We hold onto anger feeling like we are contributing a good to the greater world by bearing that burden, by holding on to something bad that happened. But you can both forgive a person, and learn better for next time.
It’s not so much anger as it is pity and disgust… but now I’m splitting hairs. I see your point.
