[edit] Philosophical approach

"As simple as it seems, it is quite possible that battling frustration is the point of life. Human beings may be hardwired to create to the same breadth as the creation of the universe, but operating at this point takes a welling up of energy as found in the feeling of frustration. Frustration may just be the explosion necessary to transform us into positive action should we choose. It is man's free will that determines a positive or negative behavior following the experience of frustration."

Yet frustration has its source in circumstances which are beyond personal influence. Frustration may be solved by radical changes in person's life, by creating new standards of living and new set of goals. Perhaps happiness is more natural state of being than lack of possibilities, as the former depends on the individual. Thus it would be logical to maintain happiness over frustration.

Frustration also occurs in animals.

random question where did you get that quote?

I'm sorry, I don't remember. It was somebody here, who first wrote it in the article page, but I think he didn't tell his name. Teemu Ruskeepää 16:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaned up?

What's there to be cleaned up? There's barely two paragraphs. Even less when looked at in the way of actual information offered... Ar-Pharazôn 21:38, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

When the tag was added, there were a couple of paragraphs of pseudophilosophy which have since been deleted (quite appropriately, I think). I am removing the cleanup tag now. —Caesura^(t) 19:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, actually I changed my mind. The second sentence could still use some help ("These goals are important to a person and one holds on to them despite their elusiveness"). I think we can remove the second sentence completely without losing anything, but I'll wait for a second opinion before doing so. Leaving the cleanup tag on for now. —Caesura^(t) 19:59, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh dear great and omnipotent Caesura, how are the clean up tags used? Teemu Ruskeepää 20:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Frustration is not necessarily a personal experience. Sometime society or part of it gets this experience which leads to social transformation.
