Why the raging face? Why anything else? Who are you?
The raging face is better than other kinds of faces because it looks weird. Who, really, wants to see a smiling face, unless it's smiling at a joke you told? Who wants to see a sad face? That's just what it sounds like: sad. But a raging face makes you feel all emotional. Looking at someone yelling at a car salesman just kind of makes you feel . . . alive, doesn't it? Or maybe not. But you know what I mean.
You don't have to be angry to have a raging face. You could just be sort of ugly. Sometimes people can confuse that for rage. Also, you could maybe just be a little foolish looking. Or perhaps have a paralyzed lip, like Sly Stallone or something. Then you could probably have a raging face while you would still have a generous heart. But I'll bet no one would pay you for your services. Guys with generous hearts are a dime a dozen around here.
Anyways, dig around and find out what it's all about.
Best Regards and we remain, as ever, your humble servant,
The Raging Face
