get a text from a friend, and it reads ...
poruku od prijatelja koja kaže:
Tako sam LJUT sada!“
I'm SO MAD right now!"
and you ask for details.
i pitate za detalje.
about what happened to them
ili prošle noći na sastanku.
or on their date last night.
to understand why they're so mad.
zašto je toliko ljut.
whether or not they should be so mad.
da li bi trebalo da bude ljut ili ne.
essentially what I get to do every day,
ono što ja radim svakoga dana,
a good part of my professional life --
svog profesionalnog života -
they have when they get mad,
koje imaju kada se naljute,
when they get mad,
or breaking things,
na internetu velikim slovima.
in all caps on the internet.
their anger stories.
they need a therapist,
i sa čim mogu da se povežu.
and it's something they can relate to.
since the first few months of life,
dok protestujemo plačom,
in our cries of protests,
you won't pick up the rattle, Dad,
da podigneš zvečku, tata,
as my mom can certainly attest to with me.
o čemu moja mama može sigurno posvedočiti.
at some of the worst moments of our lives.
od najgorih trenutaka naših života.
part of our grief.
in some of the best moments of our lives,
od najboljih trenutaka naših života,
kao što su venčanja i odmori
like weddings and vacations
frustrations --
ovim svakodnevnim frustracijama -
when things go OK.
kada stvari budu okej.
with people about their anger
o njihovom besu
da mnogi ljudi,
that I've learned that many people,
in this room right now,
it interferes in your life,
možda i na zastrašujuće načine.
maybe even the ways it's scary.
ja vidim bes malo drugačije,
I see anger a little differently,
something really important
nešto jako važno
force in your life.
moramo se vratiti unazad
we actually have to back up
zašto se uopšte ljutimo.
in the first place.
of an anger researcher
istraživača besa
who wrote about this back in 1996
koji je pisao o ovome još 1996.
with problematic anger.
problematičnim besom.
and I bet most of you,
voze ovako sporo,“
when people drive this slow,"
the milk out again."
jer je opet ostavila mleko van frižidera.“
people just need to stop messing with me."
samo treba da prestanu da me nerviraju.“
those types of provocations,
ovakve provokacije,
my friends and colleagues and even family,
svoje prijatelje i kolege, čak i porodicu:
that really get to you?
to point out one of the advantages
da istaknem da je jedna od prednosti
sastavljajući obimnu listu
generating a comprehensive list
nerviraju moje kolege.
that really irritate my colleagues.
that one's mine.
there is no rage like roundabout rage.
kao kružni tokovi.
aren't minor at all.
uopšte nisu minorni.
about racism and sexism and bullying
seksizmu, nasilju
big, global problems we all face.
velikim, globalnim problemima svih nas.
maybe even oddly specific.
možda čak i čudno konkretni.

preko lavaboa u javnom toaletu.“
two ways to plug them in,
samo dva načina da je uključite,
take me three tries?"
whether it's general or specific,
ili veliko, uopšteno ili konkretno,
that are unpleasant,
koje su neprijatne,
where our goals are blocked,
kada su naši ciljevi blokirani,
and that leave us feeling powerless.
koje nas čine nemoćnima.
we're feeling in these situations.
koju osećamo u ovim situacijama.
that we're scared or sad,
zajedno sa strahom ili tugom,
they aren't making us mad.
over the same things, and we don't.
zbog istih stvari, a ne ljutimo se.
than the reasons you get angry,
nisu razlozi zbog kojih se vi ljutite,
something else going on.
i osećamo u trenutku provokacije.
at the moment of that provocation matters.
are you hungry, are you tired,
da li ste gladni, umorni,
are you running late for something?
da li negde kasnite?
is not the provocation,
is it blameworthy, is it punishable?
pripisivanja krivice, da li je kažnjivo?
it's when you evaluate the event itself.
kada ocenjujete sam događaj.
in the context of our lives
u kontekstu svojih života,
we decide how bad it is.
odlučujemo koliko je loše.
that's ever happened,
što se ikada dogodilo,
to imagine you are driving somewhere.
zamislite da se negde vozite.
I should tell you,
trebalo bi da vam kažem,
that was going to make you mad,
koja će vas razbesneti,
a lot like driving.
on your way somewhere,
other drivers, road construction --
drugi vozači, radovi na putu -
and unwritten rules of the road,
i nepisanih pravila puta,
right in front of you,
vama pred nosom,
people you will never see again,
koje nikada više nećete videti,
for your wrath.
thus teed up to be angry,
prema tome, spremni ste da pobesnite,
is driving well below the speed limit.
dosta ispod dozvoljene brzine.
why they're driving so slow.
vozi tako sporo.
it's bad and it's blameworthy.
i da treba nekog okriviti.
it's not that big a deal.
you don't get angry.
to a job interview.
za intervju za posao.
it hasn't changed, right?
se nije promenilo, zar ne?
still bad, still blameworthy.
i dalje je loše, i treba nekog okriviti.
to cope with it sure does.
da se s tim nosite sigurno menja.
to that job interview.
gomile i gomile novca.
piles and piles of money.
your dream job
move in with your parents.
okrenete se, vratite se kod roditelja.
just to ruin your life.
the one where we make the worst of things.
kada od muve pravimo slona.
types of thoughts that we know
vrsta misli za koje znamo
where it doesn't belong.
ono što ne treba.
izgubili ključeve od auta i rekli:
you lost your car keys and you said,
they ran off on their own.
they use words like "always,"
koristeći reči kao što su „uvek“,
"this always happens to me,"
„ovo se uvek meni dešava,“
on the way here today."
nailazio samo na crvena svetla.“
ahead of the needs of others:
ispred potreba drugih.
is driving so slow,
kako bih mogao da stignem na intervju.“
so I can get to this job interview."
idiotima, čudovištima,
I've been told I'm not allowed to say
da izgovorim tokom ovog TED govora.
as cognitive distortions
are totally rational.
su potpuno racionalne.
when we're treated poorly,
kada nas ne tretiraju kako treba,
when we're treated poorly.
to remember from my talk today, it's this:
da zapamtite iz mog govora, to je ova:
both human and nonhuman,
ljudskim i neljudskim,
communicates to you
na koje vam vaš mozak govori
to confront that injustice.
da se suprotstavite nepravdi.
kada ste se poslednji put razbesneli.
about the last time you got mad.
počeli ste da se znojite.
you started to sweat.
„bori se ili beži“,
as your fight-or-flight system,
energiju neophodnu da reagujete.
the energy you need to respond.
je usporio kako biste sačuvali energiju.
slowed down so you could conserve energy.
kako bi sproveli krv do ekstremiteta.
to get blood to your extremities.

i neumitnim silama prirode.
forces of nature.
your ancestors did
ono što su vaši preci radili
or appropriate.
da zamahnete palicom
every time you're provoked.
weren't capable of.
to regulate your emotions.
da regulišete svoje emocije.
and you can channel that anger
from getting angry.
i da je pogrešno osećati ga.
and that it's wrong to feel it.
of anger as a motivator.
da mislim o besu kao o motivatoru.
da uzmete čašu vode,
motivates you to get a drink of water,
da uzmete par zalogaja,
motivates you to get a bite to eat,
da reagujete na nepravdu.
to respond to injustice.
to find things we should be mad about.
kako bismo našli razloge za bes.
and not worth getting angry over.
i ne vredi se zbog njih ljutiti.
environmental destruction,
uništenje prirodne sredine,
those things are terrible,
je da se prvo razbesnite
is to get mad first
into fighting back.
with aggression or hostility or violence.
neprijateljstvom ili nasiljem.
that you can express your anger.
na koje možete izraziti svoj bes.
da pišete pisma uredniku,
you can write letters to the editor,
and volunteer for causes,
you can create literature,
književna dela,
koja brine o drugima
that cares for one another
da se te strahote dešavaju.
those atrocities to happen.
da ćete se razbesneti,
you feel yourself getting angry,
to what that anger is telling you.
šta vam taj bes govori.
into something positive and productive.
na nešto pozitivno i produktivno.
