Frustration

From Freepedia

For the term frustration as used in contract law, see Frustration of purpose. For the board game, see Trouble (board game).

Frustration is a human emotion that occurs in situations where one's goals remain unreachable indefinitely. These goals are important to a person and one holds on to them despite their elusiveness. In terms of psychology, passive-aggressive behavior is a method of dealing with frustration.

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.

Frustration also occurs in animals.
