6. It's possible to be a very calm angry too

Maybe I'm defective but I can't imagine being anything but angry after all the betrayals, all the lies.

So many people in our country are being thrown out of their homes, scavenging for scraps to eat, terrified of what will happen to their children, to themselves if they get ill. Our government is killing and hurting so many innocent people in our name, with our money. Our rights are being taken away and women are being so degraded with invasive laws that take away our rights.

I wish people were angrier. I don't mean in a way where you spend your days yelling and smashing things but a calm, focused anger that keeps you fighting.
