I personally like the whole "Come on Beast, is that the best you can do?' mentality. When I say control, I don't mean an effort to silence the Beast. I just mean the ability to neutralize it through recognition. Through that awareness, I deny it any quarter. And yeah, that awareness is a pretty awesome feeling. It's empowering. It's incredible to feel a rush of power after believing I might be powerless. I get the gun comparison, sure. Happiness is a warm metaphorical gun.
