Ｑ51.What is indignation?

Ａ.Indignation is an urge to be angry through sympathy.

　　Indignation is also called sense of injustice.
　　Indignation is an emotion that branches out from anger caused by sympathy.
　　For example, if you see a child crying and being bullied by another child you may feel anger as you put yourself in the bullied child's shoes.
　　We can naturally feel the same emotion as another person through empathy. However, indignation is felt through putting ourselves in another's situation. For example, a crying child is not necessarily angry, a crying child may be scared, but observers feel indignation which is anger for justice.
　　People feel indignation towards social crimes or unforgivable evils. Indignation causes us to stop another's violence or stage a protest against society through methods such as going on a hunger strike or marching in a demonstration. Indignation is anger felt through another's situation, so personal things cause anger, not indignation.
