Wow! People are MAD. If you don’t believe me go read the comments on Bill 🤓’s YouTube channel. 🤣🤣💉
.
Personally I think we all have the right to be mad right now. We’ve been locked down, masked, censored, quarantined and misled. Fears have been exploited at an unprecedented level.
.
Any questioning of these actions taken by government continue to go unanswered legally. No recourse for you! Nobody seems to be paying the price for the crimes they’ve committed either. Not yet anyway 🤬
.
I know some gurus and life advisors tell us that we shouldn’t get mad. Actually, I think there has been an effort in society to demonize anger in general over the last decade or so.🤨
.
Ya that’s right, I said that. There has been an effort to demonize anger.
.
I’ve actually heard and read many people say things like “I don’t get mad”, or “don’t get mad, try meditating” uhmmmm?? Really?
.
Somewhere in between the age of Oprah’s book clubs and new age enlightenment I got the feeling that anger isn’t cool. 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read my fair share of Oprah book club books. Many are good. But Is the thinking that the Uber enlightened do not feel anger? So none of us should?
.
I don’t know what the objective is with that narrative. All I know is last time I checked if we are human then one of the feelings we experience from time to time is anger.
.
If you never get mad then you might be dead.
.
With the uprising of the overly politically correct movement anger seems to have been cancelled along with many other things. I think there is an added layer to this for men and boys. Anger has been lumped into this term as a defining characteristic of “toxic masculinity”. 🙄 Implying that there own masculinity is toxic and anger is part of that toxicity. 🤢....What?
.
Newsflash, everyone gets mad. We all just deal with it differently. There should be no shame in recognizing our own anger.
.
Anger is normal. When injustices occur I think it’s perfectly normal to feel angry about it.
.
Anger can and has been the catapult to the very action that we need to take.
.
So what is the cost of pitching this Uber enlightened don’t get mad mentality?
.
Studies say,
Heart Disease
Stroke
Depression
Weak Immune System
Anxiety
Alopecia Auto Immune
.
Besides disease, undeniably there is also a societal cost to canceling anger. Certainly the people that decided to start America and leave the British Empire were probably angry? Maybe even driven by anger?
.
I think a lot of us are in this place of anger and feeling like we don’t know what to do about it. So in tomorrows post let’s explore the benefits of anger and how it can actually help us feel good.
.
Also, I’ll be on Northern Colorado’s 104.7 FM Pirate Radio tomorrow morning. You can tune in by downloading the simple radio app. Pirate radio.
