Like actively try. Mostly because of how it affects me and my health (usually it leads to a downward spiral towards anxiety, depression, more anxiety, etc.). It also affects my immediate relationships negatively (I get edgy towards my partner; avoid social contact with friends, etc.). So, for me, personally, anger does not lead to positive \u201cstuff\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This is, of course, very different from getting angry with someone who pushed their shopping cart over my knees at the supermarket. I am talking about anger at events I witness and write about. The stuff that makes my blog posts here and everywhere else. Lately I have become not just upset or disappointed but actively angry. For the most part, I am angry by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redlightpolitics.info\/post\/15774821368\/corporate-politics-and-feminism\">lack of responses and reactions from people that are supposed to be leading<\/a>. I see this silence interjected with racist expressions and \u201cjokes\u201d and I am overcome by a raging disappointment. And then this is quickly followed by something that is pretty much a pattern in my life: <em>am I seeing \u201cthings\u201d where there are none to be seen? I am making this up? Am I taking offense where there is none?<\/em> Because yes, I do self doubt\u2026 a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, for the first time, I even pondered what until recently would have been unthinkable \u201c<em>What if I stopped blogging altogether? Because really, what difference does it make?<\/em>\u201d. I am not saying I am going to, but it is getting acute. And not fun. And the way I see it, pretty pointless. Mostly because, to me, the issues I rage about (the racism, the xenophobia, etc.) are not abstract ideas I get to \u201ctheorize\u201d about. They are concrete, they have real effects in my life and in the lives of people I care about. However, I am also reaching the sad conclusion that words, or at least <em>my words<\/em>, will not have any impact in the world at large.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I try to avoid anger.
