Raspberry

A rasp is coarse form of file used for coarsely shaping wood or other material. Typically a hand tool, it consists of a generally tapered rectangular, round, or half-round sectioned bar made of steel  of with distinct, individually cut teeth.

 The raspberry is the edible fruit of a multitude of plant species in the genus Rubus of the rose family.  Raspberries are perennials with woody stems.  The shape and texture of their fruit gives us the reason why they are called RASPberries.

Sometimes, when I am aggravated, it feels to me as if someone is using rasp on me and trying to grind me away into nothingness.

I've had that feeling of the rasp, too - when folks talk about raw nerves, I think that's what they mean.

I hope you can recharge your batteries and refresh your spirit very soon.

Maybe raspberries should be called seedberries. Just a thought
