RE: Selective Outrage, From a Strictly Extra-Terrestrial Point of View

in #life7 years ago

You're completely right, it absolutely blinds people who get upset about insignificant things, I think it would help to step out of the situation to see how ridiculous it is.

Thank you for the great comment!

Unfortunately, stepping out is not that easy as outrage is really an emotion and not exactly a conscious thought which makes it even harder to control. It's really worth examining ourselves and our motivations when we get angry at "the others". Sometimes anger is actually due, but sometimes it an overreaction and dehumanization of the other side of a minor and/or insignificant issue.

Thank you to and thank you for the thought-provoking post! :)
