Agreed. Outrage and contempt are twin tools of Satan to destroy peace among peace-seeking people.

This is an extremely insightful article and so well written I really appreciate it. I plan on reading it many more times. You have explained the futility in focusing on others wrongs if we want to have compassion, humility and become more like the Savior, and you've done it in a way that really gets at the core of the problem. I'm not a good writer so this comment is not doing justice to your content so let me just conclude with another Thank You!

Thank you for this article. I would also like to point out outrage’s close cousin: Contempt. Contempt is the idea that some person or group is utterly beneath you. I will argue that contempt is 100% poisonous and destructive to charity and compassion. Unfortunately it’s everywhere in our world. We can’t call ourselves disciples of Christ if we harbor contempt for Gods children for any reason.
