Eh. I'll take anger over despair thanks.

Uh.... no.... he's just a fucking asshole!

Although, I hope this video helps fucking assshole's become nicer people!

Oddly enough, this is actually a riff off of Buddhism, and it's "All is Suffering mantra"

Patience and restraint are a product of appropriate expectations.

Expectations should be a product of experience, but often are guided to be overly optimistic by our betting nature.

'I should have left earlier but if I make every traffic light I'll be fine... aaaahhh why are these traffic lights all making me late!'

Well, that's an interesting theory, at least. You know, like homeopathy is interesting to some people. I get angry at the idiots of the world who deliberately cause issues, not because I lost my car keys. Keys can be found, but stupid cannot be fixed.

"As it is, Not as we would like it to be"

When we have a desire or expectation on what we want or how things should go, but it does not turn out the way we 'hoped' or 'wanted' (desire), then we loose the balance of our mind.
Desire is based on illusion, we desire (hope) something that has yet to happen and we think about how perfect it would be 'if', yet when that 'if' turns out to be something we did not expect, intend or desire, then we become agitated, sad or depressed that it did not transpire the way we thought it would be. We then take that agitation and we try to share it with others. We don't like to feel the way we are feeling, so we express it to others, spreading the drama. Most people take on the agitation of the one with agitation and become emotional in some way to either commiserate with them or it brings up our own internal agitations about so many things, that we then become embattled with the one that is agitated. Then the fire that is inside is being spread to each other and sometimes it gets bigger and keeps spreading to those around the ones that are agitated. Then it keeps growing and we have a tendency to hold on to that agitation from moments past or days, weeks or years past and it keeps building. It becomes a habit pattern and we keep repeating the same process because we are consumed with it.
But we all know that the only thing that puts out a fire is water. Water is the cooling substance to quench the fires lust to consume. It is the same way with human beings, water (calm cool words or actions) can help diffuse oneself or others.
When we are agitated we lose our self-awareness and travel down the path that our sensations or emotions are taking us. We in essence lose control, we allow ourselves or others to guide us down a path that is never helpful to any situation.
But there are many paths to change that habit pattern within ourselves and gain mastery over our minds and change the habit of allowing ourselves to lose our equanimity.
Science has proven that no one can make you feel a certain way, or make you do anything. Yet we still have a habit of blaming others for our agitation or sadness, or even praise others for making ourselves happy. Yet we are the only ones that can make ourselves happy or sad. We have the ability to accept things as they truly are be it 'bad' or 'good' and be OK with it. Why do we cry when the milk has spilt? It has spilt, crying or any other emotion over that reality is not going to make the milk un-spill. Cleaning it up and learning or teaching on not to have the milk spill again and moving on from that moment is the most important thing.
We are incredible beings with so much power and beauty. To be with ourselves and learn from within our own beings is so important and the key to dealing with the world around us.
So yes, hope can be a very dangerous thing when that hope consumes us to the point of anger and depression when that hope it not fulfilled.
We do not have any control over how things transpire outside of ourselves, but we do have the ability to master ourselves so we can be mindful to the ever changing world when our hopes are not fulfilled. As we grow we learn not to have so many expectations (hopes), but allow life to unfold around us and 'Act' to any situation instead of 'React' with emotion. When we Act, we start to become aware instead of becoming blurred when we are reacting with unawareness.

'Be well on your journey, May Truth and Awareness be your guide'

This is so depressing. In order to be happy you have to be jaded.

Yeah, I find it all a bit nihilistic. If your objective is to rid the world of any suffering then it seems to me the surefire solution is stop existing. I bounce off the whole Buddhist "desire = suffering" thing for a similar reason. But to be happy - Might that not involve a certain amount of suffering? Is anger necessarily entirely destructive? Is hope sometimes reasonable? Does being hopeful require an expectation? Question mark?

I dunno.

Actually, to be not angry, you must be jaded. Has nothing to do with happy.

Can you be angry and happy at the same time?

I know that nothing anyone else does or says to me makes me more than disappointed. The only times I get "great vengenace and furious anger" is when I personally have failed. My anger comes from frustration, not hope.
