A lot of times, I am actually torn between your viewpoint and everyone else's because both bring up some amazing and in-depth analyses. Sometimes I am in favor of Shiva and others I am downright disgusted by his actions and have expressed those thoughts as well.
For me, it's Raavi's day everyday. My heart goes out to her each time she is berated, manhandled, and disrespected. And I recognize that Shiva is the facilitator more than half of the time as well and for that reason I cannot love that side of him.
And I agree that a lot of what he did in the past few episodes is a product of his anger but there is pain in there as well, 10 years worth of pain. If you don't mind me suggesting, I think it might help you see why others see the pain if you watch the pre-leap episodes. Those scenes are crucial to the development of his pain and anger. In no way am I supporting him nor sympathizing with him, but just reiterating that his anger is a result of his pain.
