15. Legitimate complaints do exist, of course
Fri May 3, 2013, 09:02 PM
May 2013

But when people are angry, they don't bring up any legitimate complaints. They exaggerate. Widly. In an increasing spiral of ridiculousness. If there is a legitimate complaint, my experience tells me that they don't want to tell you what it is. They expect you to "know already" while they heap more and more scorn upon you.

Me, I'm trying desperately to find out what that complaint is, but they won't tell me. Now I know it's because they are enjoying the childish release of angerous thoughts. It's a tirade. The point is not to get something resolved, which could be done easily and rationally, but to instead create a blown out of proportion battle... for entertainment? Excitement? Self-righteousness? I simply cannot tell, and they won't tell me either. If you can shed light on that aspect, I'd be grateful!



P.S. The they to whom I refer is everyone I've ever experienced anger from. In fact, everyone, almost. (I can count the exceptions on one hand) It puzzles me to this day why people cultivate anger. A feeling of superiority? A front for their own failures? A Jungian projection of their feelings? I have no use for it. It leads to violence. And what is violence but a total domination of another? Am I a cold-hearted person who needs therapy so that I can generate normal anger and try to dominate those I love? lol Fuck that. :^)
