Don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying that there’s no place for rage in activism, or even that those who have been wronged by injustice aren’t justified to be angry. Of course there is, and of course we’re justified. But there’s a difference between our raw human emotions and how we choose to channel them. When we fail to process them through our values—like love, service, and creativity—won’t we end up reproducing the very inequitable structures we seek to abolish?
