Dont trust anyone who says that anger is the proper emotional reaction to life

It’s like a drug. It feels awesome and gets you high on self indignation and righteous self pity.

But at the same time it saps all your energy from any activity except finding more generalized outrage to get your next hit.

It also makes you the unthinking, easily manipulated slave of anyone who feeds you a false narrative that justifies your unceasing outrage and resentment.

Those who can make you angry, can control you.
