Positive Beligerance

I always get a kick out of positive beligerance.

See it a lot in The Asylum where I work.

People come in to get their booze, you ask them how they are doing, and they say "Good. I'm doing good."

But they say it with a great deal of force - too much - over the top - kind of strained. Like they are trying to convince themselves that they are all right, or trying to convince everybody else - or both.

Life is a tricky deal and we are all actors.

Some better than others.
