_Sky:

I appreciate your keeping us focused on Anger, a very important topic for many people.

You asked a very interesting question on this post: "Understanding who's "job" it is to correct them or help them get back on track, now that's the key."

My reaction was: Well, who's job is it? The person troubled with anger? The parents and family of the angry person? The friends who are often abused by an angry person? Teachers and schools? The police? The Church? The victims of the angry person's actions? Counselors and therapists?

Maybe "all of the above."

Then there is the problem of deciding how to best approach the angry person in a way to reduce their mean, aggressive, harmful actions. The best approach surely depends on the relationship has with the angry person...one response will not fit all situations.

Maybe the best we can do is share with each other approaches we have had some success with. Some have already reported what worked for them when approaching others...and stopping their own anger. Let's get more ideas that have worked.
