Justifiable Anger

You’re walking down a quiet street minding your own business when someone jumps out in front of you, points a gun at you, and demands all your valuables. You give up your ring, your phone and your wallet, and the robber takes off. Your first emotion is one of raw fear at the sight of a gun pointed at you. Once that begins to subside, there’s a sense of relief that it was only objects that you lost. But finally there's a feeling of deep anger at the audacity of this person to do that to you. You know you are completely justified in this anger.
