obyvatel said:Perhaps personalized anger (directed towards specific people) goes away at the level of development you are alluding to. But it is likely that anger at injustice, exploitation etc remains as a general form of righteous anger.
If one has reached a high level of empathy and emotional development, I doubt if sadness can be eliminated. I would think it would be natural to feel sad at the suffering of others while acknowledging and accepting such suffering as lessons in their life path. Such sadness would perhaps be a pure emotional function in contrast to the type of sadness or disappointment that comes from a sense of unfulfilled expectation of others which I think is an example of the intellectual center function of comparison working along with the emotional center.
Yes, it was the negative aspect of those feelings I was talking about indeed.
I agree that such feelings would be changed in a integrated man like Dabrowski talked about, and understand that such expectations are one example of wrong work of centers.
An yes Kenlee and Tigersoap, very true, seems that people are too burn out to even react...
People say in my face that they dont care. They care about things in the context they are inserted. If the person is a undergrad, they care about the money the government is spending on education, but if I talk about how brutal murders between couples and fathers murdering their own children, they say that its not their problem.
Or the person is politically inclined. Everything related is outrageous and deserves action, but USA destroying the world and concerns about what you eat are paranoia.
It seems to me that even those who can be aroused, can only be aroused by a definite set of events.
Thanks for the response kenlee, it was helpful.
