| Righteous anger is something that is very important, and needs to be exercised more often I find. People seem to think that to get along you need to bend to other people's whims and not cause a scene. When in fact, it should be quite the opposite.
Righteous anger results not from hate, but from a deep compassion towards someone. If you see a person you care about doing something you know is stupid, or is endangering to them or others - you can feel angry, but that doesn't mean you hate them. I think some people forget this fact, and instead try to be only "nice" for fear of loosing that friend. If they are truly your friend, they will understand why you're angry with them, or in time will understand.
So yeah, my feelings towards that subject are pretty strong. I hold the idea to myself, as well as my friends. I've had my fair share of people who beat around the bush, and I don't care to return to any of them. Only those who are not afraid to say what needs to be said, no matter how hard, are worthy of my friendship. (also, they were pretty poisonous relationships anyway so that was another factor)
