Righteous indignation

Tags: Culture, Lifestyle Experiment, Psychology

For some, there seems to be a default response when having felt treated wrong: righteous indignation.

The problem is, it never works. Anger is never a way that gets others to call down, consider your arguments and change their opinions. What really is happening is that the emotional temperature is now raised on the other side as well.

What if we decide that righteous indignation is simply not an option, much like such other outdated attitude much like cannibalism.

We all have to deal with a lack of fairness in the world, and we all should organize ourselves far more and be far more proactive in creating a world that works for us, instead of one that is handed down from above by governments and corporations. But the short burst that simply leads to anger is proven not to work, and instead labels US as the jerk.
