In fact, I may become angry if anyone tries to tell me I'm being "Negative" or focusing on Darkness rather than The Light and aiding the Happiness Enemies instead of The Angels!
Expressing Rage over the slightest of slights is a mere keystroke away for many. Anger is flying around the world through Cyberspace with astounding vitriolic velocity, while in Real Terra-Firma-Space, the Bitter Feuding of Nations and Internal-Government Turmoil reflect the increasing Loss Of Hope To Be Happy. Reality – today, in "these" times – has shifted very far away from what the majority of us who were raised during a Superficially-White-Washed-In-Bliss era were taught to believe would be Our Future – a Secure Place In Life filled with Abundance & Tolerance.
Add Other Generations who were also caught-up in the Cushy Belief that despite obstacles, they too would have Open Opportunities to live that Worn-Out, Over-Used Term "American Dream", and the result will be a Mass Of Pissed-Off People who are discovering their lives are/could be the Exact Opposite of that "promise."
The Daily Kos wrote an article on this subject, referencing Bill Maher's astute comments from last night's show concerning how very, very Big Time Angry the Collective We have become. To save time and space here on what would be Basic Repetition on my end, you can go HERE for the video as well as a succinct commentary on WTF Is Up with The Anger Thing.
Now that we appear to realize Just How Insane It's Become with regard to Just About Everything, what are "we" going to do (or not) about it? Yep. An Anger Management Class would be helpful for those who are screaming at strangers online; the Mean Kids who bully their classmates to Literal Death; U.S. Politicians who are truly shafting their "people" beyond the pale of Any Pale a U.S. Citizen has witnessed – evah! – in our and our grandparent's and their grandparents' time, and on and on we can go with unpleasant examples….
The point is this: Humans are inherently Emotional Beings. Mix External Strife with Personal Struggles and the lid Will Blow when the pressure can no longer be contained. Basic science.
And so I ask you to do something for yourself should you be one of The Angry's – whether you're a Direct Angry or a Covert/Passive-Aggressive Angry – which is to Take Care Of Yourself by finding different outlets for the uncomfortable emotions that are not associated with the source of your Unhappy Feelings. Trite but true (and yet another cliché to make your day).
If we simply roam around the planet stuffed with an Emotional Armory Of Hate, Frustration, Jealousy and other self-destructive emotions, then who wins? No one. Trust me. I didn't name myself The Screaming Queen Bitch while on The Radio just for the Shock Value. Although that particular persona died many years ago, the Driving Force behind that moniker has been triggered a great deal lately. I don't like how "it" feels, so I'm Doing Something About It. Without support, that Whirling Dervish Within would become irrational and say or do something that would ultimately hurt someone who didn't deserve my Misplaced Wrath. Maybe you can relate? If not, then great!
On that note, I'm jaunting-off to Scream At The Ocean! It can handle wrath quite well. I think. Then again, it does have a tendency to seek revenge from Constant Abuse… Maybe I'll just stay home and enjoy a peaceful neighbourhood for once.
Have a Wonderful Whatever!
