If you're not angry, you're not in love (righteous anger is a gift)

(If you're not angry, you're not in love).

Some say anger stems from fear, but I say it stems from love. If your child was ripped away from you, perhaps killed as 'collateral damage' in some bullshit war of aggression, you would feel anger; perhaps even rage. The reason you feel anger is because you loved your child. Deeply.

Anger is a perfectly natural response to blatant injustice and cruelty. It is perfectly natural to feel angry when confronted with the many horrors of our modern world.

The billions of non-human animals exterminated every day, the millions of children killed in senseless wars of aggression, the millions of young, naive men sacrificed on the battlefield to satiate the sadistic desires of the so-called 'ruling class.'

Yea, that shit ANGERS me; but my anger stems from love. My love for humanity and the billions of sentient beings with whom I share this planet with.

If you're not angry about the current state of human affairs, you're not in LOVE.

Thank you for your time and attention.
