Late night thoughts and will probably delete this in regret but how do you deal with feelings of rage when seeing/hearing/experiencing injustices around the world? I’ve been trying to ignore them for a while now because 1) it can be too overwhelming and upsetting to engage sometimes 2) voicing my opinions on this subject has gotten me into trouble in my (“white”) workplace 3) i already have too much on my plate. I try and remind myself that God will deliver their punishments in His own time

Your rage is valid. Don’t ignore it. Know that Allah swt is the Most Just and there is justice coming in the after life. Pray. Speak to allies. I never speak to (non-likeminded and usually white) folks about this in the workplace or other place bc it doesn’t make sense for my energy. I want to rant with someone of the same beliefs. I’m not trying to convince someone of my beliefs. You can’t convince folks about oppression. Realize that after you rant, you are privileged where you are and identify an action you can take (donate, protest, etc.). Recognize it’s not in your control. Limit your news consumption. Recognize that there’s no way this life is it bc of the rampant injustices. Journal. Be grateful that Allah swt allows you the ability to recognize injustice - too many folks are ignorant and not trying to expand their mindset.

Thank you for sharing 🙏

There has to be a balance so I’d give myself a few minutes or a time limit to focus on the issue and stress/be angry about it and then take a big deep breath. Then after that you have to move on from the issue and make dua for such people to be guided to the straight path. You can’t let it consume you. IA khair!

smart

Thank you for sharing 🙏 inshAllah

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness."

Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.

There are many reasons why people in the working world are not direct when speaking. They are one of the following:

* They pretend they are experts
* They are inexperienced
* They are full of themselves
* They don't know what they are looking for
* They love to talk

Even if these people have good intentions, be careful of them. Your time is valuable, and the best thing for you to do is to be direct back at them.
