Why Can't I Feel Righteous Indignation?

People often say that if they just knew why something happened, it would be okay. Here's the thing, that doesn't solve everything. 

I have been blessed with the ability to understand most people that I come across. I just seem to understand their motivations and desires naturally. Having an empathetic nature makes me lean toward liberalism and a more forgiving nature. 

The problem comes in, when despite all of the motivations that drive you, you still mess up time and time again. My understanding and empathetic nature prevents me from expressing anger, disgust, and quite frankly, righteous indignation. I just feel like I've Seen It All Before. My response is never the appropriate one for the situation , and so my kindness is taken for weakness.

I envy the simplicity of people who react to everything that happens. It is fascinating. I feel like I'm channeling my inner-Spock. I think, at times, that anger can be useful. It's not even like I am sitting on anger, refusing to express it. I just don't feel it. I wonder what it will be that finally breaks through.

I would be lying if I said that I have not had second and third thoughts about this. I am leaving my life for 27 months, and at this point, I am down to the final stages.

Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain

Image
"Oh, my back still hurts," Jim groaned as he sat on the bed and bent over to pick up his shoe. "Why don't you try a massage?" His wife asked. "My friend Carol swears massage is the only thing that can help her back pain." Jim sighed as he tied his shoe. "I suppose I have tried everything else. The chiropractor says my back is fine, just the muscles are tight. My doctor gave me muscle relaxants, which I don't like to take, and our insurance only covered four physical therapy visits. Massage can't hurt my back any more than it already does, I guess."

Dry Brushing for Loose Skin on Keto Diet

I have lost just shy of 45 lb since the end of April on the ketosis diet. Obviously, with such rapid weight loss, your skin needs time to catch up. Since I am in my early forties, I did not expect that my skin was going to bounce back like it did when I was in my twenties. In an effort to minimize the issues that I may have as I continue to lose weight, I have been trying to be proactive about my skincare.
