Targeting Built-up Frustration and it's Source

In a bad situation, it is usually easy to know who you are angry with. Sometimes, it isn't so easy to discern between who you choose to direct your anger to and who you should direct your anger to. Many times, this is because it is hard to be angry with the person you should be angry with, but being angry with someone else is easy, especially when justifiable. If you're angry, you'd think it is easy to be angry with anyone involved, but that is not the case. When someone you love, look up to, respect and care for is who you should be angry with, you don't want to be angry, so you direct your anger elsewhere. If someone you've never liked, who has wronged you time and time again and has many times before been the source of your anger is part of the situation, they become a very easy target. One would read this and think, why just not be angry? If it is harder to be angry and the 'culprit' then why redirect it and be angry at all? Answer: I am human. The anger and frustration has to come out somehow and if I don't care how much my relationship with the target crumbles, then why not? It isn't like I act out irrationally in anger, or cause any harm. I just personally relieve stress and frustration to myself. No harm, no foul
