i dont condemn anger and it annoys me when people, especially libs, do, but it’s fine to not feel as intensely and emotionally, cuz i mean, your thoughts don’t define any merit you have, only what you do. don’t worry too hard about what you’re feeling and why.

also, if holding onto rage without an outlet for a while just causes you problems, it’s fine to let it go, not because you’re wrong for feeling angry, but because it’s always better to be kind to yourself, and letting yourself save that rage for when you can do something with it is always smarter than letting it fester and corrode yourself. not saying rage is bad in and of itself, once again, just trying to say that rage can consume you, and you’re a nice person, and your rage should be directed at those who are evil like, you know, IOF soldiers and fascists as you said, but if it’s just cooped up in you and it hurts and you also can’t act on it at the moment, it diminishing is okay.

if you’re checking yourself when you’re alone for feeling the ‘right’ feelings in the face of great tragedies, and berating yourself for not feeling those ‘right’ feelings, that’s, pardon my words, silly (this is meant to be comforting, i’m just no good at it) you’re not a jerk for not feeling the ‘right’ way! don’t stress about having the ‘right’ feelings if your behavior has not worsened. the only reason becoming dispassionate would be bad would be if your actions started to break away and act contrary to your principles.

sorry i guess my thesis was don’t worry and don’t feel guilty about not feeling like you used to. you don’t know if that’ll change, and even if it does, if you stay principled and cognitive, then it doesn’t matter. i think (not very good at speaking).
