One of the most popular types of social media post is the type that chastises people for being too outraged for one thing and not outraged enough for another.
This is a losing battle.
Outrage is exhausting. Fighting about outrage is equally exhausting. Trying to figure out whether and to what extent to be outraged about what is even more exhausting.
The reality is, everyone is correct.
We are always inappropriately outraged. I get too upset by my own small inconveniences, and not upset enough about the suffering of others. I never have enough information or empathy to properly order my outrage quotient. This is all true. And it always will be true.
Don’t worry about whether others are outraged at the right things. They aren’t. Neither are you.
Put down the opinions and pick up your cross.
