@kamama94, My parents told everyone the story that age three, I came stomping into the kitchen saying I was really mad at God. When asked why, I said: Because He put more sunshine in the neighbor's yard...perfectly understandable, yes?
Still, I was well into adulthood before realizing that women, particularly, were less likely to express anger which came so naturally for me. While I'll go to the mat over injustice for another, I do not rise to the occasion as well for myself. I think anger can be a good tool like others and can sometimes prompt an action for a better result.
No need to apologize, imo, you are simply stating the deplorable truth that the "haves" live much differently from the average, hardworking American. While expressing anger comes far easier for me than tears, my daughter is horrified and embarrassed that spontaneous tears occur for her when she becomes angry. I'm with you 100% in choosing anger over tears over the disparities between those with more vs those of us with less. Some days are just too much for even the best of us and then another day arrives and we feel better. Hoping you find some comfort in remembering that others are rooting for you and want to share your journey.
