I agree 100% with your first point. People shouldn't be upset at their emotions themselves, or try to control those emotions. However, all emotions are caused by something. For example, anger is caused by unaccounted for misfortune. Therefore, when someone feels angry, they should always make sure they are lashing out in a way that doesn't make their problems worse, and that might help them to account for future misfortunes.

Anger isn't the only emotion with an element of ignorance though. My guess is you can't figure out why other humans act the way they do. I don't know the specific unexpected actions that people are taking that upset you, but it seems one of your guesses at this point is that other people act the way they do because they are in some kind of extinction cult.

You are completely wrong. The closest thing that humanity currently has to a REAL extinction cult is the anti-natalist movement, and even that is much closer to an echo-chamber than a cult. It hurts me to hear that you hate people, since I like almost everybody and hate almost nobody. Is there anything I can do to help you guess why people might act the way they do? Are there any actions you find particularly baffling? I might be able to give you some guesses about what's leading people to act that way.
