Psychology: The study of the human mind and behavior.
Psychology, is a double edge sword.
On the one hand, you learn to understand a lot of why people do what they do. And on the other hand, you learn to understand a lot of why people do what they do.
But sometimes, I just want to be angry.
Right now, is one of those times!
When the outrage over gas prices going up a few cents per gallon is bigger than that of a baby being yanked from a mother’s arms. When having kids not recognize their parents once they get them back, IF they get them back, is met with excuses.
When taxes going up is met with more resistance than women getting sterilized without their knowledge or consent.
… I want to be angry.
I default to finding out the “why?”. Why are we as a society, more worried about monetary concerns than we are at human rights violations? Is the dehumanizarion so ingrained already that we view them as less than the rest of us?
Are we maybe also trying to avoid what may hurt us in order to sleep better at night? Is this a “corazón que no ve, corazón que no siente” type of situation.
“ignorance is bliss”
So I can’t get angry. Because I understand the fucked up reasoning.
But…
Sometimes, I just want to be angry!
