Wrong

Sometimes people do things that cause material loss, injury, physical suffering, or emotional suffering. These are wrong and are the external manifestations of internal character defects.

When observing such wrongs, it is tempting to give full rein to the character defects of self-righteousness, criticism, condemnation, contempt, attack, hatred, indignation, insult, mud-slinging, hysteria, hyperbole, invective, polarisation, contention, argument, polemic, mental festering, self-indulgence, resentment, grievance, fear, anxiety, worry, fretting, despair, disillusionment, cynicism, gloom, morbidity, dismissiveness, cruelty, heartlessness, carelessness, negligence, and lovelessness.

On the surface, the first list appears to be the great crime, and the second list the righteous response.

However, the first list depends on the second. Without the second, the first list would not exist. The second list is the real problem.
