Anger can also come from a feeling of injustice. A feeling that something isn't fair or should be a different way than it is. Romance is supposed to make us happy. People shouldn't be starving. Hard work should be rewarded. The good guys are supposed to win.
These are the things we've been taught in our culture. And like it or not, they don't always come true. In fact, they OFTEN don't come true. It would be a better use of our time and effort to invest in the plan for when they don't work out, then to bang our head in frustration, against the Societal Brick Wall of Justice.
How will you handle it when the promise from elders and society doesn't happen for you?
Anger is not action. Anger is not progress. Very often, we see it as energy or energetic. But it is not the same as picking up the pieces. Or having a plan for change. Or even starting a small protest on the Capital Steps. Don't confuse anger with activity or might. Your entire life could be consumed with this falsehood. And nothing will change at all.
