Opposite of angry, to me, isn’t happy…The opposite of angry to me is complacent.
Why do I believe this? Well, it’s because you would have to be complacent to not be angry, just going with the flow, doing whatever you are told, not questioning anything. You can however, be happy and still be angry. You can have a great life, good family and friends, a nice job but still be pissed off that children around the world are dying, wars are breaking out over things like oil and Kardashian is a name you know…These are all perfectly good examples of things society deems acceptable to be angry about.
The problem then is…What do you do about it? Let’s be honest, no one person is going to stop any of those things (even killing the Kardashians, we’d still know who they are and they’d probably become even more famous). One person can feel like they are about as useful as a grapefruit in a gun fight.
In my mind, you have to start small…
Stop all the little things in our daily life that piss us off, and then once we’ve fixed those; we’ll have no choice but to fix the bigger problems.
Where I’m going with this, is attempting to fix things like:
People who don’t use their car blinkers
People who carry on personal conversations with fellow employees while serving customers
People who leave time on the microwave (great it’s 0:02 o’clock…)
People who take up the whole sidewalk so you can walk past, then walk slow
People who drive less than the speed limit

Those are just things off the top of my head, I’m sure if I took the time, I could come up with a list of thousands of things that we encounter in our daily lives that make us want to punch a rainbow.
This is why I tend to be angrier than your average bear because these things SHOULDN’T happen! Basic things that we’ve all encountered (and probably have done at some point too) that should not be a part of our lives.
So my idea is this…
Let’s make all these things obsolete…Let’s make it so we never have to waste our time or energy on some moron who leaves their dirty dishes in the workplace sink.
