Why are you so bent on infusing justice with emotion? "Livid" was your word. I don't think it matters if the issue is justice or something else. It's the non-constructive emotion I was addressing. IMO, such emotion damages one's health, shorts out one's brain, and generally contributes to an unhealthy environment. I think it's the same regardless of the trigger and the same for parties on all sides of the trigger issue. The question is at what point does that negative emotion become a chronic or debilitating or environmentally non-constructive problem. Assessing the nearness of that point may be easier for someone not caught up in it than for someone who is not only caught up in it but shares it with a reinforcing group. Hence my suggestion. Take it for what it's worth. No big deal. Doing the right thing is just that, no strong feelings necessary. I agree. They aren't necessary. They can even be unhelpful given that the limbic brain may carry the day. The rest of the brain is needed to assure both the identity of the right thing the best path to achieve it, and the competence to implement.
