Yes, it does feel like the world is getting angrier... or, perhaps, because we live in this instant "everyone-is-a-news-reporter" world, people express their anger at everything more openly than in the past.

Anger is one of my personal hobby horses I have worked on for most of my adult life... actually, the work has been mostly on the lack of anger, especially when it is justified. But the rest of the world? Maybe we have grown spoiled in some way... almost feels like there's a subtle sense of entitlement to life being easier than it really is... and the attendant anger arises when reality clashes with an imagined scenario that actually is all but impossible to reach, functionally speaking.

Good and thoughtful post-- thank you! Following you...
