Does it make me angry or sad? (WEEK 242)

Catarsis or point of view on what makes me angry, which is not much but important, at least for me.

Many times I have commented to many people who know me that I don't usually get angry, it is very rare for that to happen and there is a reason for it. For some reason I don't get angry at certain circumstances in life, but I get sad.

Instead of getting furious about something, throwing plates, banging doors or shouting (I hate shouting) I usually get sad. I've been told that this is bad, because it's a process that goes inside and that it's better to get it all out, to express anger, and to release it, but that's just the way it is.

Although with time and learning I have been able to manage that emotion and express it, it is not anger, it is sadness.

Now, there are things that produce that feeling of anger or rage inside me and some of them are injustice, laziness, lack of critical sense, desire to improve and learn, taken to the extreme. Of course these causes should not be simple things, but quite noticeable and strong.

I think that injustice is one of the things that makes me most angry, because it is related to equity, to equality, and I don't mean gender equality, but equality as human beings. That being someone's acquaintance, or having a ‘plug’ as they say, is valued more than ability, knowledge, quality and effort in work matters, to give just one example. This would apply to all areas of life.

Impartial, objective justice, although of course we are human beings and subjective, but sometimes these injustices are too grotesque and one wonders how certain things can happen. Continuing with the labour examples, that someone is hired for his or her physical beauty and not for his or her knowledge. You can transfer this example to other things.

There are even global injustices and there are also those so minimal that no one notices them, only the person involved who suffers them. They are all important.

I also get angry at people who sit around doing nothing, waiting for everything to come to them from above, perhaps as a result of injustice. I am always of the opinion that those who work the hardest should be rewarded the most in all areas of life.

Those who don't have the critical sense to think for themselves, to question things... without questioning there is no learning, without curiosity for knowledge there is no evolution. But I think that depends on the individual.

There has often been talk of zombies, and today there are many in society, if you don't go out into the street and look, don't look, look, you're bound to bump into them. They don't see life, they don't see... only their brains have been absorbed by technology and television... zombies.

I don't know if this makes me angry or sad... wondering where the world is going. I wonder if humans are evolving or devolving. What do you think? It is believed that because there is AI there is evolution, but that is not a human being, nor creativity, inventiveness, exercise of the brain. Anyway... I could write too much about this, but I think you understand me.

I only have one question left... will human beings ever be able to see what is essential in life? I hope so.

I had planned to write about other topics, but today my intuition told me to choose this topic from all the interesting and even funny topics that @galenkp presents to us every weekend.
