The World's Getting Angrier

The world is an angry place.


If you could measure the amount of pure rage in a person, and sum it all up and take the average and chart it on a graph, I can guarantee you it's going up. A steady, sure increase to higher highs.
Anger, rage, they're all natural emotions, they're POWERFUL. But temperance is required to channel it, the world needs to FEEL the rage but USE it positively.


And sadly our educational systems, our leadership, has completely FAILED to teach this skill. To change the way the world is headed.
Every one of YOU need to change it. I need to change it. WE need to change it.

You see, I want you to realize that everyone around me is safer because of me: they are wiser, stronger, and influenced positively. Nobody around me is running around, hurting other people. Why? Because of ME.

All of YOU must become THAT GUY. The dedicated, hard-working, angry BUT tempered man. The one with his head on the ground making sure everyone around him is okay. The one taking the brunt of the harsh cold realities so that those around you can live comfortably.

Be the man who makes other men STRONG, be the man who makes his woman feel safe. Be competent, understanding, and resilient.
I need every one of you reading this to become that bright light in this darkening world.

I can do mine, but I cannot do it all alone.

I can't be alone in doing this. Most of you have to have your own set of battles. It would be great to just talk about your own days and if we can do anything for each other. Let's reach out and share our stories. Maybe coming together, we can find ways of making life a little less crazy.


Let's Talk About It


You're not alone. Overwhelming, angry, or just plain lost—it's normal to feel these. We're all going through something. The key is how we handle it.

What's got you struggling? Is it work stress, relationships, or just the general state of the world? Well, we've got to talk about it. Share your story. Sometimes, just putting it out there can make a huge difference.

Can we be there for each other and what type of community do you feel we need? Maybe a place to vent, share some advice, or maybe just listen? This is something that we have to do together. Small Steps, Big Results We do not change the world overnight, but we do change our life and the lives of those around us.

Let's be the change that we want. It's high time we rise to the occasion and be that strong, tempered leader that we may require.
Please do share your thoughts and experiences in the comment section below. We shall make it an enriched space of peer support and empowerment.
You are not alone in this. We are in it together.

Discussion Points Suggested

Bengaluru Blues

Image
  The horns continued to honk, a dull hum beneath the cacophony of squealing brakes and incessant "beep beep" of auto-rickshaws. Rajesh reclined against the worn seat of his auto, the sun beating hot upon the thin plastic canopy. His leg pained, a throbbing ache that refused to abate. It had been broken in a hit-and-run at the Silk Board junction, and it was healing slowly, too slowly. He observed the crowded Hosur Road in Bengaluru. Buses emitted black smoke, inching through traffic like giant, lumbering brutes. Motorcycles, with two or three riders, sped by, their horns contributing to the cacophony. Peddlers wandered between the stationary cars, hollering, "Sir, Madam, idli, dosa!" above the din. It was a chaos of frustration, a cacophony of impatience, and Rajesh, trapped there as a witness, had a bitter taste in his mouth. He was once a programmer, a coder. He had ambitions of having his own company, of creating the next hot app. He even had a notion, something...

The Cubbon Tale- Short Story

Image
  The sun let loose its warming rays over the lush decor of Cubbon Park. Tall boughs of a majestic Banyan had reached out on the ground forming an umbrella as tentacles offered a canopy sheltering families spreading out their baskets to have a picnic there. Cheers and laughter among the children playing badminton and football fill up the ambient peace. A little girl, Sonia, was playing with a shuttlecock. She let it fall beside a tree trunk and then ran after it, ponytail bouncing with every step. When she picked up the shuttlecock, she heard strange moaning sounds behind the tree. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she peeped behind the tree. What she saw wrinkled her forehead in worry. A couple, young one, embracing each other passionately, locked mouths, hands exploring each other's bodies. The girl figured they might need help, thinking the moaning was painful. She hastened back to her mother and pulled at her hand. "Mommy, Mommy! Those people need help!". Her m...

The Cubbon Tale - Ashwin Alex (Short Story) Reflection

A Tale of Generations  The short story, "Cubbon Tales - Look Closer," reads like a seemingly simple tale about a child's curiosity and a mother's dilemma to explain something that is essentially a complex social norm. Yet, beneath all this lies an intense commentary on the changing values of generations and the friction caused when old meets new.  The Clash of Cultures: The story is based on the act of public kissing, which is considered inappropriate by the older generation but harmless by the younger generation. Sonia is the protagonist who seems to be confused regarding her mother's reaction to the couple's show of affection. She portrays innocent curiosity that reflects a generation less held in shackles of tradition and more open to expressing emotions freely. The story reveals how the emphasis of the older generation on social norms is against the desire for self-expression and authenticity by the younger generation.   The Power of Observation and Ques...
