There is a certain anger: it reaches such intensity that to express it fully would require homicidal rage--self destructive, destroy the world rage--and its flame burns because the world is so unjust.

This includes, for example, nuclear energy and genetic food production to provide the world what it urgently needs.

These stages can also be seen in adults coping with new life events, whether positive or negative.

When we're skating and physical we're at our best and put a lot of pressure on the other team that way.
