Well, said Mma Ramotswe, I have felt that anger. I felt it when I saw that the van had gone. I felt it a bit in the truck on the way back. But what is the point of anger now, Mma? I don't think that anger will help us. Mma Makutsi sighed. You are right about anger, she said. There is no point in it.
Mma Ramotswe expresses her feelings of anger after discovering that the van was gone, an emotion she continues to feel during their journey back. However, she reflects on the futility of holding on to that anger, suggesting that it doesn’t serve a purpose in their current situation. It indicates her wisdom and ability to prioritize more constructive emotions.
Mma Makutsi acknowledges Mma Ramotswe’s sentiment, agreeing that feeling anger is unproductive. Their conversation highlights the theme of emotional management and the idea that some feelings, while natural, may not lead to positive outcomes. This understanding underscores the importance of choosing a constructive path forward instead of succumbing to negative emotions.
