Anger and hatred are always righteous - at least that's how it feels.
When we are angry, we feel it is our right to be angry, and the consequences of our anger is the fault of whoever made us angry.
Even though nothing was ever solved by hatred.
But it is extraordinarily difficult to challenge ourselves when we are consumed in anger. In the heat of the moment it feels so right, so true, so justified.
Not until we have stepped out of it are we able to see more clearly.
But politicians, media and extremists of every kind want to stir those feelings and keep them alive, so they can justify what they do next and go unchallenged.
Finding peace in our hearts, not afterwards, but while we are angry, while the hate consumes - challenging it while we are feeling it - that is what we ought to be taught from a young age, and need to be practicing as adults.
