From the mind of critic: “Is anger really the 2nd in 5 stages of grief, if we don’t reach bargaining after we get past the anger, but instead reach action? Is anger necessary to rouse our passions, to make us want to take action? Isdenying what’s in front of us specifically what makes us angry, because we could have taken action sooner? Or does seeing the completely unfiltered truth, and understanding the schemes and under-handed relationships committed under our name what makes us angry, and to truly move past it we can’t deny it’s there or bargain it away, but have to accept it by not being fearful of the unknown, but by excitedly going in head first because of all the amazing possiblities? Anger, like all other emotions we have, feature a good side and a bad side. Anger can be good if it spurs us toward thoughtful action, once we slow down and think. These clear thoughts are never acheiveable when we’re angry, because we’re running on emotion. When we act from this emotion, is when anger can be bad. We can’t stop emotions, but we can control them by not making decisions when we’re overly emotional. A lot of events and issues can make us angry these days, no matter what end of the political spectrum we find ourselves on. Once we realize that if we focus this anger to our true target, we’ll see that to take useful action toward our focal point, we must think honestly and clearly so our action makes a difference, insetad of adding fuel to the fire that has been burning for thousands of years. If we’re grieving a death, anger might come out when we stop denying what’s in front of us. However, if we fully accept what’s in front of us before we get angry, we’ll see we won’t completely fly off the handle, because we’ll want our actions to make an actual difference over what was making us angry in the first place. If we wanna keep fighting each other forever, we live with our anger, giving us the false picture that we’re thriving. To make positive change through thoughtful action, we must be thoughtful to each other” 🙂
