Why does everybody get angry easily these days?

[benji81]

people are generally angrier because they are less respectful nowdays. If only they were disciplined properly when they were younger they would oprate a better set of morals!

I think this anger epidemic sweeping across the western world comes from five sources:

1. No readiness to solve problems. In modern society people are taught that problems should not exist in a good life. Everything must be smoothed and perfect from the outset ond only the "others" have problems to deal with. People are olso taught to look down on those "others" in trouble and feel entitled as long as there is no trouble in their own lives. This means that as soon as there is a minor problem or conflict in the life of modern man the first priority is to pretend that it doesn't exist and to at any cost avoid dealing with it. If that avoidance doesn't work there will be a mental seizure resulting in either anger or somethig even worse.

2. A very fragile self confidence. In modern society most people know nothing and are unable to do anything and are well aware of that fact. It is hard to develop a sound self confidence if you have no abilities of your own except watching television and eating fast food and riding a bus to a brain killing job or to the unemployment agency.
The fixation with facade makes things even worse. People compare their own lives with the posh facade of the upper crust as displeyed everywhere and so they feel worthless.
Marketing also takes part in tearing down ordinary people's self confidence so that it can be temporarily patched up by buying stuff. Lots of people are living beyond their means and are up to their noses in depth just to be able to keep up with the joneses and prove that they have themselves some value after all.

3. The approval of bullies. In today's society the bully is admired for some weird reason.

4. Urbanisation. Tightly packed animals of more highy developed species tend to develop agressive behaviour especially if they have nothing meaningful to do.

5. Television. Has been discussed already in this thread.

The problem here is that it's mainly angry people who believe in discipline as a solution and that respect is won by force. Maybe they should start by beating themselves up? :lol:

Where on earth have you dreamed that one up from, Jacob? It's bizarre. Even for you !!

If, like Chicken-Licken, you fear the sky may be falling in then maybe listening to some relatively calming music will help?

They say music transcends all divides ... so maybe a little number by Marilyn Manson would help? (though that choice may depend on your starting point as to whether it's calming for you!)

This maybe

The recreational types have taken on a nearly social aspect now, getting together to trade varieties , compare flavour profiles and proudly proclaim potency achieved. You might even think of it like a wine tasting , not sounding very criminal at all.

"Would Sir & Madam like to try this blend?"

*puff.... long inhale..... hold it..... and exhale*

"Hmmm... I'm getting butterflies and rainbows..... and a merest backnote of pink elephants.... what do you think dear?" *Inane grin and slight drool* "yes, we'll take 2 bags "....


That really made me laugh
