I wish I could feel indignant.

Why do you wish for even more unpleasantness? Life happens. You choose how you respond to the emotions life evokes -- but wishing they were otherwise isn't going to make the experience of being anything but filled with unhappiness.

Indeed it does. However, sometimes I think it would be handy to have just a drop of self-entitlement to assist me in conflicts with others.

I mean, I see all these horrible people powerd by self-entitlement, maybe I could use the power for good?

Forgive me for bringing up religion, but in Jewish thought it says that people should have a 64th of a 64th of a temper - enough anger to stand up for yourself when others try to walk over you.

I love Judiaic wisdom, its so practical.

I should have added that it also says you should have that tiny bit of temper to get angry when you see an injustice being done to others - enough to rouse you to try to do something about it.
