Today, i'm finally releasing some thoughts that have been persisting in my mind. I don't write all that often because i'm afraid of "immortalizing" thoughts that are not necessarily true to me. I only seem to write when I have recurring thoughts. It really is something for me to work through though, this fear of permanence.
Lately, i've been having thoughts about different emotions and their viability or futility. One that I am wary of that I often catch myself feeling is righteous indignation. It's this feeling of anger and frustration at people and situations in my periphery. The indignation comes after the fact. This feeling of justification for my anger. The feeling of justification only preserves my ability to function from a state of anger which is not a sustainable place to work/live from. Actions taken from a state of anger are actions dictated by society and not myself. I seek to be the purest incarnation of myself that I can be. Not clay molded by the unskilled hands of society. Righteous indignation stunts true growth and progress.
There are times when righteous indignation (indirect anger) can serve a purpose. If society impedes your ability to grow as an individual, then the indignation can fuel anger, which informs the outside world that it is hurting you.
However, I am not someone who is oppressed by society. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to attempt to live from a pure and idealistic state of being. This writing marks an acknowledgement and acceptance of my opportunity.
