When Odysseus came back to Ithaca to find his Kingdom overrun with insolent suitors of Penelope, he rose to the occasion with incredible violence.  Before being impaled by Odysseus, one suitor asked him why he was so enraged.  Odysseus answered, "Because you were trying to steal my "world".

That's us.  We are LOSING OUR WORLD, and only if we see that all the way through, do we have a chance of salvation.  Our rage, like Odysseus, is appropriate and imperative. 

The alternative is to whistle in a dark that's not listening and pretend ourselves to death.
