In a world where everyone is offended by everything, we forget how important a good dose of outrage is. Being offended is essential to a balanced life. Let me explain.
- Outrage is exercise. It strengthens your righteous indignation. Skip it and you become a flabby blob of apathy.
- Outrage is entertainment. A wrong coffee order becomes an epic. A neighbor's cat on your lawn becomes a capital case.
- Outrage is social glue. Nothing bonds strangers like a shared enemy and a comment section.
- Outrage is creative. Guernica. "A Modest Proposal." Rage Against the Machine's entire discography. Without outrage we'd have only lullabies and cat posters.
- Outrage is survival. It's what makes us fight injustice instead of following the herd.
But what if you're cursed with a sunny disposition? Fear not. GoblinLife.org offers a cornucopia of material guaranteed to set off your outrage receptors, from political satire to financial advice designed to make you question your choices.
