Egg shells

There are some situations that make you wish you could just lash out and hit something and it will all be solved. The release of pent up anger and frustration in doing something physical would be welcome, but not likely. Wont solve anything and is likely to physically hurt. Another anoyance to add to the list.
There was a TV show a while ago, David Carradine, I believe, where he was a 'grasshopper'. One of the things he was required to do was walk the length of a room long sheet of rice paper. But until he attained mastery, no matter how hard he tried or how careful he was, he always made a mess of things. The point here I think is self evident. My trouble is that I dont know what I am trying to master. The art of deception? So I dont seem to be doing anything to cause grief? The question also becomes as to what do I do about it. Dont attempt the task? Give up? Cannot do that at the moment, the cost is too high. Ah, well. Cannot complain though of life being boring.
