emotional reaction to unfairness

Post Reply New Topic

I don't like unfairness, but I don't avoid shows where characters face unfairness.

What would I watch or read if I entirely avoided it? Seems in a good amount of shows, books and movies I like characters face unfairness and even worse things. Not really sure how the plot could progress without problems characters have to face and overcome...or not(they don't always). Also, idk sometimes I find things I can relate to, and that can be positive to feel I'm not the only one who ever experienced such a thing.

I hate injustice as well...My blood boils!! !..And i must act, even if doing so gets me in trouble...

One day, when i worked at a law-firm...One of the business partners fired a very competent paralegal...She was a single mother...And it was around Christmas...I understand it was his right to do so...But not in such a humiliating manner...

As she headed to her office to collect her personal items, i followed her there to comfort her...I was the only one that dared...Meanwhile, everyone else looked scared and shocked in amazement...For he was vicious...I knew that i could gain his bad faith and get fired...But frankly, i didn't care...To me, it was a matter of principle...

Surprisingly, he did not fire me...Instead i gave my two-week notice, because his demeanor confirmed what i had been noticing...A very high turn-over, due to a very unhealthy work environment...Interestingly, he actually begged me to stay...Knowing that i am a devoted Christian, he appeal to my Christian "duty" to give him a second chance...And i did...But eventually, i did leave that firm...As i knew better...

Indeed, this personal anecdote, and many others, confirms that i have zero tolerance for injustice...

Like this sort of thing?

The FBI was allegedly actively trying to fabricate evidence.

It was an emotional watch but I noticed some family members, especially my mom were more worried about him than I was.

From personal experience I have had conflicts at home and at work over disrespect toward my things and by extension my work. I suppose that's a form of injustice as people often don't treat their own things the same way.

I react more when more people are involved. Canada has had a major study of missing and murdered indigenous women and girls, which is constantly quoted, but it adamantly refuses to notice twice as many men and boys. We keep hearing about "The Holocaust" as if there had only been one. 99% of the survivors of genocide get ignored, because nobody is using them for political leverage.

I totally agree. I try to embrace acceptance (self-trained through buddhist meditation) about the things I can't change. I've pretty much come to terms with the inevitable unfairness of disease, death, disasters, etc.

The ones that bother me to the point of physical agitation are ones where people are treating other people as guilty when they are not. Like my daughter! And like innocent people who've been wrongly convicted. That's why I love the Innocence Project (I'm a bit of a true crime fan.)

When it is on TV I almost physically cannot handle it and have to stim a lot to cope with the discomfort. Irl I have to say something, even if it could affect me negatively because it just feels so painful.

100%. Both in real life and in movies. Like you, I will avoid movies where the characters are being framed because of how much it angers me and triggers me.

if i allowed myself to ponder all the injustices in this hellworld, i'd be fit for a straightjacket.

An unexamined life is.... out of sight , out of mind. There's only so much one can do. Save the world or save your self, or ... be the example you wish to see in the world... or Light in the darkness...biiillions and biiillions of galaxies...grain of sand in the sahara desert....our world..our problems...my reality tunnel....

i am powerless to do anything about them. i can't give trumpy a horsewhipping. i can't even give my neighbor who beats the crap out of his wife and kids a horsewhipping, i call the cops and they tell me don't bother us with that $#!+.

Have to change channels too , when those types of situation and programs come on blatant injustice is too
Often occurring in real life , without having it. Broadcast to mt T V. Set .
