#Irritation

Irritation is the mind’s tiny explosion whispering that patience has reached its limit, triggered by meaningless delays or off-key intrusions. Yet voicing it freezes the room’s atmosphere, while swallowing it corrodes the stomach in a paradox of emotion. It lurks in every crevice of daily life, quietly eroding reason and etiquette with its insidious itch. In serious conversations, it acts as a ritual of feigned calm that disinfects the meeting room air with frost. Ultimately, the most effective sedative is the buffer called sarcasm.
