Why do people still believe hatred and anger are okay?

You are correct. Most people are not evil or intentionally bad but some have very negative personalities. For some individuals, that is all they know, probably because they were raised by negative parents in a negative environment. They can change if they recognize that they have a problem and want a better life. Yes, that takes work.

Hatred and out of control anger is never okay. That doesn't mean that someone should be meek and passive, but there is a difference between being assertive and being out of control angry all the time.

Being overly aggressive, full of hate and always angry can be a sign of a mental illness. People who behave inappropriately, and unable to control their emotions are considered to be behavior disordered. They often become dangerous because they are unable to control their rage.

These are the people that should never be allowed to carry a gun, or a knife, because they will use it. Even when they do hurt someone, they will never accept any responsibility for their behavior but blame others.

Negativity is all in the eye of the beholder.

You're walking down the Street and you come across two people fighting. Maybe one is wailing on the other, and getting the better of the fight.

You feel sorry for the person being pummeled.........but you don't know the Whole story or who started the fight.

What you perceive as the "attacker" , was actually the person being attacked, and that person had no choice but to fight back and defend themselves. Maybe the person being beaten has just attempted a car jacking, or a robbery, or was attempting a rape and innocent good people jumped in, and tried to intervene-. Perhaps a weapon was pulled......and a scuffle broke out.

One person is clearly in the wrong, but the other person might be wailing on that person for a damn GOOD reason.

and in my life, and my experiences, I find the guilty parties often wail about "police brutality" or how unfairly they were treated............but often fail to mention what CAUSED that "police brutality" or acknowledge, in any way, shape or form...........what THEY did , to merit and earn that azz kicking they received and suffered.

They pick on people who they THINK can't or won't fight back, to do their dirty deeds FIRST....and then act all surprised and stunned...........when they DO and CAN fight ***back*** , ---after being provoked, ----and actually WIN the fight.

Kinda like that video making the rounds right now, of the "NY guy, vs the Arizona thugs".

No, the video doesn't show who STARTED the fight or what it was over.........but it showed the "NY guy, mouthing off, and then taking the first swing.....and no dobut to his utter surprise.....found that the other guy could defend himself QUITE WELL, and then kicked his azz all over the parking lot.

The guy mouthing off, got the azz kicking he went LOOKING for and PROVOKED.

it's not a matter of "Not wanting to work on being good"......but a matter of, sometimes a good right hook is the only thing some imbeciles understand.

Does that make violence RIGHT? No, of course not. But what are the options? Stand there and just take abuse when being abused?

Jesus said to turn the other cheek, but ya only have two cheeks and He didn't say what to do after that.

I do not believe it is in our nature to be Evil.........but that doesn't mean that some people don't get off on it.....and go out of their way to create and cause evilness.

I can practice peace and serenity and being good from now til the cows come home........but when someone enters your life, hellbent on creating chaos and harm, and confusion.......those people are best dealt with, firmly and rationally, with all due force the situation calls for.

You can only be a doormat and have people wipe their feet on you, if you ALLOW it.

and cyberspace in particular, seems to be the devil's handiwork.......where fake people enjoy causing all sorts of drama and fake fights and then playing the victim.

Look at the show CATFISH. All these fake people out there, pretending to be things and PEOPLE , they surely are NOT........and causing all this GRIEF for people.--------for kicks and laughs.

Yes, what a wonderful world it *would* be, if EVERYONE worked on being positive and uplifting, as I myself try to be.........but I can't tell you how many fools I've butted heads with here, after they jerked me around ROYALLY.

I can retain my inner peace..........but.......damn.......I feel sorry for the people who have the need to play those sorts of stupid mind games. Then when they get busted red handed playing these games........

they play the victim and blame everyone but themselves for the outcome.
