Interpersonal relationships are complicated.

I'm absolutely furious at a guy I've never met, will almost assuredly never meet, and whose name I'll likely forget before the hour is out. I've never seen him, heard him, or read a word he's ever written. I wouldn't know him if we walked right up to me and slapped me, and yet, if I could will him out of existence with my mind, he'd be long gone. He doubtless is completely unaware I exist but... but...

But dammit, someone I care about a lot is hurting right now, and I'm sitting here unable to do anything, unable to think of anything I should do even if I could do anything, which I can't.

This isn't the first time or the first person this has happened with. And maybe I'm just angry, or vindictive, or being absurd, and obviously I only get one side of the story, and partially at that, but that doesn't change how mad I am right now, at the half dozen or so faceless villains that hurt the ones I love. So, basically, dammit.
