GET ANGRY

[OsaiEmma]

This is so beautiful, nice motivation, I love the part where you said, anger ask one thing only, what are u doing about it , that is the best quote, in any situation, being angry at the circumstances is the best driving force to propel you forward, it makes u get up and running towards what you wanted, it's gonna help you drop your lazy acts, self pity mind, victim playing life, and face the issue head on without looking back.

I agree, we should get angry, I remember when I was in junior high, and I had a friend that was into this girl, she was at the top of the class, he approached her with my encouragement, and she hit him with, I'm the 1st how can I date you, what's your position, we are not on the same level, that got me angry, and I told him then and there that I'll take that position from her,u friend believed.i could and I started studying seriously for the first time in my life.
Although she transferred out.to another school, but she actually ignited a flame in me that changed my educational life forever.

Many people will be confused, because normally they all believe that anger destroys things, but anger is a tool too, and yes it's full of destruction, if you can use it right then things will turn well.

I got angry on myself was why I took my life even more seriously, my never back down idea comes from the experience in the past, where I was abandoned by everyone, they called me names and all sort of things.

I won when I took my eyes off this world, stop caring about others but myself, then have full control over my focus, then things start to get clearer, I noticed that anger is what many people need to make a difference.

The Righteous Anger to be precise.

[Satofan44]

I respectfully disagree, though I grant you that young people have inherited a shit-filled world being made worse by their elders who are currently running the show.

For any of the problems you mentioned, there are many possible courses of action and anger isn't the necessary spark to light the flame under one's ass to cause them to do something--not across the board, though it might be for some people.  In fact, some people might combine anger with a feeling of helplessness, and what does that likely end up as?  Depression.  Substance abuse.  Taking out said anger on the wrong target.                                                                                

You are onto something but then again your line of reasoning here is not very strong. You can pick up any alternative emotion that you proposed instead, but if you combine it with helplessness it becomes useless. Here we are talking about pure anger, rage that is directed and objective base -- there is no helplessness. Those that add helplessness to their anger, of frustration or whatever are part of a different group.

Live life with the goal of making the lives of others better and watch karma go to work for you.

Sweet irony, I guess folks consider divorce part of good karma too these days.  

I also dont think this is the situation world wide. There are plenty of opportunities to make money nowadays , but those opportunities are different than millennials had.

For example , in Brazil lots of people make money in the internet selling courses or stuff like that. There is a big niche online to make money.

You kind of contradicted yourself with the example. You can't talk about the widespread availability of money making opportunities and then bring in a niche market as an example, it is by definition limited and not that many people can make serious money off of it. You can see something similar with freelancing websites which were a huge money making opportunity until they got flooded with 3rd world incompetent idiots that do low quality work for low pay, and AI work. Now they are very crowded and it is much harder to build a repertoire of clients for those that try this thing. New opportunities always exist, they are a sign of changing times -- but that does not mean that the situation is good. Overall, the economic situation right now is much worse than it has been in a very long time.

There's literally no other possible course of action to get those good things in life, as a broke Gen Z. How can you even not be angry about everything the world looks like right now?

Those that are not angry are either depressed or deeply addicted to the system from what I can observe. Basically what they believe to be their own sovereign decision making, is just a coping addiction to distract themselves from the situation. Nobody sane would spend precious lifetime scrolling useless feeds or playing games continuously. I have even read of cases where Gen Z take stimulative drugs to play video games, not competitively nor for money, for longer. They have fallen really far down.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Be anxious for nothing, instead its an avenue in picking up the challenge, we cant continue to watch things happen the same way they have always been, anger cant solve the problem in some situations, instead, we have to make up our minds and strive for what is better for us and to achieve, picking up a challenge is what we should be after, because we might get into the toughest of the situation and appear being helpless, but we have to be courageous that in due time, there's going to be a recompense to every effort rendered.

As someone from a third-world country, it's not only enough to ask people to get angry; I need people to get angry and direct their anger at the right people. Some people are just docile and sad, simply hoping that one day things will change, but it won't unless we do something about it. The other set of people is angry at the wrong people. Some blame the Western world and imperialism, some blame the businessmen and millionaires when theyre suppose to focus all their anger on the politicians. The politicians are why the country's a shit hole. They have refused to do their jobs, instead they embezzle the money, and people do nothing to them. People need to be angry about this. The politicians and government officials need to feel unsafe when they don't do their jobs; they need to be on their toes. That is the only way they can actually do what they're supposed to do. There is no point in being angry and doing nothing about it. Being angry at immigrants, Jews, World powers, the Western World, Imperialism, or even the next homosexual guy won't solve any problem. The only people who can make a difference are the government, and we need to be angry at them and make sure they do what they're supposed to.

Being just angry at the world would make you have a very unhappy life where you're angry at everything and see no joy in anything. If you must be angry, be logical. You can't be angry at people who have done nothing to you, while the people who are actually doing something to you walk freely and boldly.

Exactly my point. The people responsible for the mess in various countries have found a way to make the people angry at the wrong things. In some countries, they have convinced a section of the country that Western Imperialism was the reason the country is a mess. In other countries theyve convinced the people in the country that migrants are the reason the country is a mess. Some have been convinced that the opposition party are the reason the country is a mess. When the actual people who are responsible for the country being a mess, which is the government, exempt themselves from any blame, and people are not angry at them. Instead, they find the wrong target to vent it on.
This just creates more division and violence, which favours the government because they won't run out of people to blame it on.

The governments of most, if not all country, however different they might be, have something in common; They never accept that a mess is their fault. They always blame something or someone else. And somehow, people keep falling for their division tricks.

BlackHatCoiner is spitting facts. Yes, the world we live in currently might not be the best but the truth is, it is what it is.
Although it's not the best, we have to try to make the best out of it and that's the only thing we can do.
Try to eat good food instead of junk food. Start cooking your own food instead of going out.

Education is important but skills are more important and so, identify your skill and keep on improvising until you get a better job for youself.
People out there are competitive and if you want to survive then you need to be better.

Independence is important but so is taking care of your family and spending time with them.
You have to figure out a middle way on your own.

Yet I know, we need to be angry because the system is poorly designed and the leaders out there governing the states are at fault for this.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

If said anger flows correctly, it may lead to results, but if not put on a leash and control - it leads to chaos..

It depends on what the reason for your anger is, assuming you saw that your mates are living a more comfortable and independent lifestyle than you and you get angry about their success, it doesn't change no shit about how you will continue to live after then but when your anger is about yourself, about how you can climb to another stage just like your mates, then you will stump to action to improve yourself.

[BlackHatCoiner]

Being just angry at the world would make you have a very unhappy life where you're angry at everything and see no joy in anything.

I never said to be angry at the world. You should be angry at yourself. Don't be angry at the world for being poor. Be angry at yourself for not being able to afford the things you want. Don't be angry at the girl that left you. Be angry at yourself that you are not the man she instinctively respects you to stay with.

Those that are not angry are either depressed or deeply addicted to the system from what I can observe.

I have even read of cases where Gen Z take stimulative drugs to play video games, not competitively nor for money, for longer. They have fallen really far down.

I get that being a Gen Z young man is way more difficult than a Millennial or Gen X, because of the poverty, the sexually liberated world, the fall of purpose etc., but those are things they should actually make them angry. Most are just passively submitting to video games and porn. What's the purpose in that? There's not even fun to prioritize above purpose. It's just passive cope.

Getting angry at oneself for some may cause inferiority complex or create frustration and often suicidal thoughts, because one sees how they are not where they are supposed to be and can't get there faster with their little or no effort so far. It calls for change and it is quite difficult to stop a habit without having a better replacement for it. This is where the problem lies.

Having a purpose and a goal in sight is often the best driver to success and change in ones personal life, because the effort and thought process that is formed and developed while striving to fulfill what is envisioned becomes a better replacement for bad habits and a passive living.

[casey15]

Yes nothing good comes easy, one has to get angry and make sacrifice to go way above the average life. Sometimes it is really not our fault, we just happen to be brought into the life we would never wish to experience but wallowing in regrets and sadness doesn't change anything you only get used to that same average life and the cycle continued. But if you are bold enough to take a step into the light, to make decisions that are not normal in your environment, to be different and aim high then that cycle ends with you and everything begins to play out.
You cannot change anything with anger alone, it has to be accompanied by actions and let the anger be the drive that pushes you every single day to do better

[Xylber]

I partially agree with the OP.

If people never "get angry" and start acting, those who make the rules will make our world smaller and smaller. Every time you "accept it and move on" you are losing and some few are winning. Politicians increase our taxes, devaluate our currencies and create wars, in many countries they act like kings already.

I could not disagree more with this. Targeted and misplaced anger leads to nowhere and is completely pointless, furthermore it fuels habitual behavior of misplacing blame. Who exactly is to blame for your own personal conditions? Local businessmen, politicians? In reality, in most cases you will never have individual people or a small group of people who are directly responsible for your conditions. At best, they could be indirectly responsible but objectively trying to figure out how much responsibility is exactly theirs is extremely difficult or impossible. Therefore, do not blame people who you believe are at fault -- most likely they are not. Blame the whole system, and blame yourself. For the most part, most people are at fault for their own lives. What exactly are lives? A accumulation of past decisions and events and circumstances that are not in your control. Many people like to take the easy way out, and blame others for their own decisions. Nobody forced you to get an education or skills in something useless or nobody forced you to not get any education at all, nobody forced you to waste countless tens or hundreds of thousands of hours on stupid entertainment activities and whatever else. You decided that, in most normal cases (do not bring exception or unusual cases as counter points, they are not). Accept responsibility, hate the system that is currently extremely flawed, and do something to fix your situation.

Yes, the situation now is much harder than in the past. However, they are spending an abysimmal number of hours in useless activities. 1 real friend, the old kind, is more worth than 10 000 Instagram followers. Trying and failing  in a worthwhile pursuit is much more meaningful and purposeful than wasting away in endless meaningless activities of social media, video games, and porn. Those things, if at all, should only be used in small amounts for entertainment purposes. Instead, most people make it their whole lives to engage in these meaningless pursuits and then they wonder: "Why does my life have no meaning?".

You will either get what you want from life, or you die.

At least you will die for a purpose.

And it's always better to die chasing after something than to die chasing nothing, dying while chasing after something is regarded as dying for a purpose, while he who dies chasing nothing dies for nothing..
A warrior once said it's better for him to die in the middle of a war while fighting than for him to die at his home doing nothing or on s sick bed.

Anger is a force indeed, but it needs control, its a force that needs to be channeled into doing the needful and what is right, anger as a force on a loose will destroy and create more problems instead of solving the existing one..
Anger can drive one into taking action, or can drive one into destruction, and my advice is, who ever needs to be driven by Anger in a quest to change their state of life, control the anger and let it drive you into buying bitcoin and locking it away for a long time, and amazingly, now seems like a very good time for such adventure.

Many are just to comfortable in where they are now , being too comfortable when you are suppose to be building , not smart at all , first step of growth is not being comfortable in where you are now . Before you’re going to take real action , and that’s same reason why many are now use to procrastinating, only those that are not comfortable with their recent condition will take effective actions and stuff , being down and depressed won’t change anything , is only going to bring pity but taken the right actions will bring obvious results.

[ContentWriter]

All the talk about getting angry reminds me of the movie, Ben Hur. You remember when he was in the slave ship and refused to bow like other slaves and was whipped by the consul? He responded with anger and could have even stood up to retaliate before restraining himself. The consul said "You have the courage to fight back but the good sense to control it" He equally said that hate helps keep men alive because they're hoping to live long enough to revenge.

So don't you think that even anger needs to be controlled as in the case of Ben Hur?
Is anger really enough to generate courage or can courage rise even without anger? Are there no other emotions necessary for success assuming we don't get angry? Let's say the attitude of a more successful person looking down on me generating a drive for success because I want to 'revenge' by showing them I too can succeed? Wonder if I'm rambling.

You will either get what you want from life, or you die.

At least you will die for a purpose.

I already posted about Ben Hur before coming across your comment. Yes, control is very important. I remember a Toyota ad that said "Power without control is nothing."

And it's always better to die chasing after something than to die chasing nothing, dying while chasing after something is regarded as dying for a purpose, while he who dies chasing nothing dies for nothing..
A warrior once said it's better for him to die in the middle of a war while fighting than for him to die at his home doing nothing or on s sick bed.

Interesting. But how about "not dying by not chasing" or avoid chasing what could kill you? Anyway, that depends on what you know or the ability to know what could be lethal if chased.

Rightly said, crying over a dead loved one does not bring back the dead loved one back to life, so also it is with our being successful or ending up as a failure. Procrastination have never risen up to do the needed work for a necessary change, we either rise up and get something doing or sit there and keep procrastinating until we run out of time and opportunities..

A very wise and popular film actor with the name Pete edochie, a respected man here on my country said something that been impacting my life ever since, he said and I quote "a poor man should rise up and go into the forest and hurt, if he kills an elephant, his poverty ends, if an elephant kills him, his poverty ends, either way, his poverty will end."
This is a really wise way to encourage people to rise up, put fear aside and confront their challenges, take risks for no man becomes rich without taking risks.

I have this belief that usually we should try not to be influenced by our emotions
Though according to psychology the productive type of anger is assertive anger
So I'd assume that's what you talking about.
And like you said such anger demands answers seeks solution
And as long as the fire burn the will to fight remains.

I think it's about using your anger to make oneself better compared to before. It is like using your anger as an inspiration to change the current situation for the better. It's like building oneself to become successful although control is a must be if not then it's only a rage and no result will be shown in the future. My explanation should be right and related to OP's phrase on the last one which is die with s purpose rather than die for nothing.

That's a good point, but when trying to make oneself better, energy should be channelled towards the right path, some channel their anger and energy towards fraud, stealing and other dubious stuffs just to make themselves better. We're currently in a digital era were there are several opportunities online and with the right skill anyone can do something great. Bitcoin on it own offers lots of opportunities, so there's no excuse for doing dubious stuffs for survival, I'm really impressed with the OP, he's on point.

[NotATether]

You have to do something.

Failure to take any action will keep you in the same situation perpetually, unable to get yourself out of it... because you don't want to do anything.

Even if it's learning a skill, that will be financially useful for you. That is a good start.

There must be daily repetition and discipline when you execute your tasks, and planning. Plan what you are going to do today, this week, this month, the next three months. Have some sort of strategy.

I was there in 2020, 6 years later even though I'm not finished yet I at least have a mission and some strategies.

Anger without taking action is rat poison.

That is the problem with the current generation, perhaps more with the society as a whole than with the current generation who just may be slightly worse with this. From what I can observe, it is only a tiny minority of the whole, let's say up to 10% that is actively doing things that go beyond their daily requirements. This means learning new skills, different skills, that are not required as part of your current job. Evidently, most people are trying to do the basic minimum necessary and just get on with it. This is a reason why we have so many people employed in all kinds of jobs who are just terrible at them, or mediocre at best. Meanwhile people find thousands of hours to binge watch useless shows, follow fake livestreams and whatever other mindless and mind numbing activities they do.

Even if it's learning a skill, that will be financially useful for you. That is a good start.

Even if it is not financial useful for you, knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself is imperative. Although I believe this kind of approach is only applicable for a very tiny minority, because it really requires high level thinking and ideals -- nevertheless, even those who may not be able to pursue it solely for this reason should be aware that it has indirect benefits on its own.

There must be daily repetition and discipline when you execute your tasks, and planning. Plan what you are going to do today, this week, this month, the next three months. Have some sort of strategy.

Any attempts that are not consistent do not build discipline and usually lead to failure or mediocrity. This is why we have dumb stuff like "New Year's resolutions" because most people can't even do 1 thing right and stick to it.

I was there in 2020, 6 years later even though I'm not finished yet I at least have a mission and some strategies.

What are you referring to with "there"?

Anger without taking action is rat poison.

I will take this opportunity to agree with you, but also to add that people like Warren Buffet are rat poison to humanity.
