They say mental "illness". They want to send us to "anger management", drug us up and make us passive...
If you aren't upset about the injustices in the world, if seeing your people trampled on and enslaved doesn't make you feel some sort of way, then you are not Irish.
We are meant to be the stewards of the world, we are meant to get upset and distressed, and to fight to make things right.
Getting drugged up, rolling over and accepting things as they've become is not who we are.
"Tallann feirge"... I've see translated "warp-spasm" and "fit of rage", and more literally, "talent for anger"... is an Irish virtue, a heroic attribute as described in 'Táin Bó Cúailnge' as experienced by one of our National heros, Cúchulainn....
"The first tallann feirge seized Cúchulainn, and made him into a monstrous thing, hideous and shapeless, unheard of. His shanks and his joints, every knuckle and angle and organ from head to toe, shook like a tree in the flood or a reed in a steam... His heart boomed loud in his breast like the baying of a watch-dog at its feed or the sound of a lion among bears. Malignant mists and spurts of fire -the touches of Badb-
flickered red in the vaporous clouds that rose boiling above his head... Cúchulainn then went into the middle of them and beyond, and mowed down great ramparts of his enemies' corpses, circling around them three times, attacking them in hatred. They fell sole to sole and neck to headless neck, so dense was that destruction... a bed of them six deep... Any count or estimate of the rabble who fell there is unknown, and unknowable... And when the battle was over Cúchulainn left without a scratch or a stain on himself, his helper or either of his horses."Irish love to laugh, dance, and play a tune. We are the most fun loving, easy going people on the planet, but don't be afraid to embrace your tallann feirge... It is a gift and a virtue. It's ok to look around at the state of things and be upset. The problem is not with your wonderful mind, but with the state of the world.
Don't let them medicate ya.
Don't let them dim your "tallann feirge".
