I am mostly a placid, very-hard-to-anger person, and that's something I do pride myself on.

There are some things that get to me, though, and I've often wondered if it's healthy, and if it's a call to action that I've been suppressing.

I hate social injustice and cruelty, and I know the negative emotions it provokes is a sign I should either do something about it, or learn to adjust my responses.

But there is something that I cannot bring myself to feel might be wrong -- cruelty/tragedy involving children When this comes to my attention, I feel deep anger, hate, and despair against the person and the world, and I don't think I can ever let go of that without losing something core to myself.
