"人間性を認めてもらおうと懇願する人は、まるで怒りのように聞こえることがある"
— Kalen Dion
Simplified Meaning:
When people feel ignored, mistreated, or not respected, they may express their feelings very strongly. This strong expression can sometimes come off as anger or rage. Imagine if you were always ignored in a group project, even though you were trying hard to contribute. Eventually, you might raise your voice to get attention because you feel like you're not being treated fairly as an equal team member. Historically, during the Civil Rights Movement, many Black people in the U.S. protested loudly and passionately for equal rights. To others, their passionate calls for justice might have sounded like anger, but they were really just desperately asking to be seen and treated as humans with equal rights. In everyday life, if you see someone who appears very angry, try to understand why they feel that way. They might just be asking for respect and recognition. To apply this to your life, when you feel very upset about something, try to explain why calmly—you might find others understand you better. And when others seem angry, listen to them; they might just need you to acknowledge their feelings.
