“Balance and control come from healthy anger. This is just as aggressive as the unhealthy kind. But it is based on a belief and hope for change in social roles and institutions. Healthy anger demands change and creates the confrontations needed for change to occur. It also gives the other an opportunity to help make that change. “Our task, of course, is to transmute the anger that is affliction into the anger that is determination to bring about change. I think, in fact, that one could give that as a definition of revolution.” ThinkingGivingKindFactsHelpingCoursesOpportunityBeliefSocialRolesRevolutionNeededBalanceHealthyDemandDeterminationTasksInstitutionsDefinitionsAggressiveAfflictionConfrontationUnhealthySocial Roles Author:Barbara Deming

“Even a hundred and fifty years ago, football was popular because it provided a manly spectacle that lots of men needed, after the industrial revolution. We went from a culture that lived out doors and expanded the frontier and fought the Indians to a bunch of guys in offices. So football provided this jolt, a kind of exalted cult of masculinity.
