Anger & Complacency

 I was thinking about anger last night and I realized that sometimes when there is a lot of surrounding negativity or when a person has a subjective experience of negativity, feeling anger or engaging in negative thinking is a bad choice.  It’s just a “when you know you know” thing.  It’s when you know that the path to remaining above negativity cannot be found through engaging with it or being brought down by it.  This isn’t the same thing as complacency or not fighting for worth while causes.  It is just the knowledge that there is nothing to be gained and everything to be lost from being consumed by and wrapped up in negativity.  I believe the idea of peaceful protest is similar to this.  It is a rejection of negative circumstances without lowering oneself to the mentality and dysfunction of that which is being rejected.
