Summary

This quote captures the frustration and uneasiness of being angry without a specific person or reason to direct that anger towards. It conveys the difficulty of dealing with general feelings of anger, as it leaves individuals in a state of confusion and unrest. It implies that it can be easier to cope with anger when there is a clear target, as it provides a sense of justification or resolution.

My experiences of men has neither disposed me to think worse of them nor be indisposed to serve them: nor, in spite of failures which I lament, of errors which I now see and acknowledge, or the present aspect of affairs, do I despair of the future. The truth is this: The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.
