My question: "Can frustration be a reason for high tension?"

little jeremiah answer: "Reason or excuse"

To be clear.
A reason is why a person made an action.
Excuse is when a person made an action that is warranted.


little jeremiah said, "A person can feel tense and frustrated without taking it out on others. Self control and introspection, along with the golden rule, are all important."

Of course that is true. I agreed with you that it isn't an excuse.
You're obfuscating the question.
Again:
My question: "Can frustration be a reason for high tension?"

NO

"Frustration" is an emotion.

One aspect of adulthood is the ability to recognize your emotions, and realize how your reaction to those emotions affect people around you.

Perfectly OK to feel frustrated.

Not OK to barf that up all over everyone else in a disrupting manner.

Two ways to look at it...

1) Are people frustrated at the seemingly slow pace of "the plan?" Do they not see the "Great Awakening" happening all around them? Are they unaware that we're watching a movie? After nearly 6-years do they need to be reminded from time-to-time?

2) Are bad actors seeking to derail, disrupt, and sew distrust? Are we now, or have we ever been infiltrated by those with bad intent? Is FR the only place on the interwebz where derp trolls don't come to disrupt?

To help identify which is which, I look at how they react to a little tough love and whether they choose to reflect on their actions and modify their behavior - or, continue to disrupt.

or unwarranted?

Seems just the opposite...tension/stress causes frustration...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pardon me? ?? Excuses can be valid or invalid. Reasons can be sound, or based on false assumptions.

And as I said earlier, adult human beings have the capacity, unless seriously mentally defective, to use their intelligence and moral values to curb what used to be called “the lower passions” - anger, greed, lust (any kind), envy, wish to harm, etc. In other words, one may feel like doing something to another including using harsh words, but curb that speech or action, using self-examination.

One may “feel” like punching an aggravating person in the snout, but an adult human being can choose whether to punch or not, and decide whether it is actually a good thing or not.

And the reason you gave for tension - the broken elections - any anger or frustration should be directed at those who facilitated, organized, planned, funded, carried out, and covered up for the stolen election.
