Anger Is No Answer
When an emergency occurs or somebody is hurt, our first thoughts are for the safety and well being of our loved ones.
That is soon followed by astonishment and amazement.
“How could that happen?” we ask, and “Why did they do that?”
As the initial shock wears off, astonishment and amazement are replaced by anger and rage. If we can find somebody to blame, we want to blame them. Something went wrong, and it’s someone’s fault. We want a scapegoat to help alleviate our feelings of hurt, outrage and injustice. In a perfect world, things don’t go w'rong unless someone makes them go wrong. And we want to feel that we live in a perfect world.
These feelings are particularly strong when the wrong doing involves our children. We know our world is not perfect, but we want it to be as perfect as possible for our offspring. When things go wrong for our children, we feel that someone is probably to blame.
When the apparent wrong doer is a trusted individual or institution such as the school, our outrage may have no bounds.
