It is always seen in media reports that in one place, someone harms innocent civilians, and in another, someone retaliates against unit leaders. In summary, there are some people in society who have poor coping abilities, are surrounded by negative energy, and harbor resentment, venting their unresolved issues onto others.
In recent years, the term "resentment" has become increasingly prevalent, becoming a common term used by certain individuals and media to describe the current society. Whenever a "violent" incident occurs, so-called experts readily shift the blame onto the ordinary people, claiming that it is the result of their unsatisfactory lives and excessive resentment.
It cannot be denied that some of the protagonists in malicious events are indeed ordinary citizens, but events do not happen without reason; there is cause and effect. Ignoring environmental influences when discussing outcomes is simply irresponsible.
Judging a person's goodness or evil based on wealth or status loses the inherent goodness of humanity. Resentment does not cling to the lower class nor does it manifest on their faces. The emergence of resentment can be primary, but more often it is the accumulation of grievances that cannot be expressed. Associating the lower class with resentment not only creates division but also stigmatizes ordinary people in society.
The character "resentment" visually represents a dog locked inside a house. If a dog is confined for too long and suddenly released, it is inevitable that it will exhibit anger and resentment. Dogs also yearn for freedom; if kept confined, they will go mad eventually. If a person is oppressed for too long, it is impossible not to explode.
A cornered rabbit will bite. When people are pushed to their limits, they can do anything. Everyone has their temper; it is impossible to suppress it indefinitely. Bullying and oppressing someone for too long without an outlet will inevitably lead to an explosion, directing their anger towards their oppressors, and even involving innocent bystanders.
The grievances of the lower class are not personal issues but stem from the deteriorating social environment; they have been oppressed for too long without resolution. The resentment of the lower class is never due to suffering but arises from the unfairness of life. Being oppressed and having nowhere to complain, how can one not explode?
There are many people in the lower class, yet most are content with the status quo. It is not that societal resentment has intensified, but rather that they have been oppressed, exploited, and subjected to unfair treatment too much. For someone already struggling in life, facing unresolved injustices and being pushed to the brink, how can they calmly face further oppression?
Many in the lower class are on the brink of collapse, ready to explode over trivial matters. This is also the reason behind most malicious incidents. The root cause of resentment lies in the deteriorating social environment, fundamentally stemming from the exploitation of the lower class by capital and the upper class.
While the capital and upper class live lives of extreme luxury, they extinguish the hopes of the lower class, leaving them with no way out. Without the protection of a moat, what can the lower class do besides vent their grievances?
