     Anger is...

2.  Discern the purpose of anger.
     It is to...
       ●  Spur us to action.
       ●  Seek to stop evil.
       ●  Save the evildoer.

3.  Distinguish between a pair of angers.
     Anger can be...
       ●  Definitive.
       ●  Distorted.

4.  Diagnose whether anger is a problem.
     Am I in my anger...
       ●  Perceiving things accurately?
       ●  Promoting God's righteousness?
       ●  Provoking further anger or fear?
       ●  Putting others or myself in a dangerous situation?
       ●  Paining those around me?
       ●  Producing the change I want?

     It requires you to...
       ●  Recognize you are angry.
