Rightful Indignation

And there are so many reasons to feel indignant. It is that completely balanced mix of anger and contempt for something that is viewed as unworthy of anything but one's basest abhorrence. The issue provoking it has to be of enough significance to evoke the feeling because indignation is quite contrary to indifference. It shows that one cares enough to feel negatively and  by itself is a strong feeling. There are moments when just anger does not suffice.

No two people are alike and my uniqueness lies in my quiet passive defiance to chase anything.....neither people nor things. I probably just only crave for experiences from you and nothing else.
