But they do require therapy when they take control of the human being. For example: anger management classes. Have you heard of the poor baseball fan almost beaten to death? Or the giants fan who was injured by other fans from a different team. All this has to do with people not controlling their emotions. It is getting out of hand. So, the SP was correct in attempting to control ones emotions that may be harmful to us.
What abot managed? Sounds better? But hopefully all this hopelessness, despair, and anger can find a cure.

No, I hold no callings. But I do attend the lds church meetings depending on where I am. And I have been around Mormons for a very long time and I am still am on sundays. And of course I have Mormons friends.
I think that just me overreacted to someone's talk. Lets look at it this way: there is a lot of hopelessness and despair in america and there is also a lot of anger. It is acted out everyday on the streets and in homes. Hopeless, depression etc are a national pasttime. And we need to start to think just how to get control over these emotions. And the more serious cases can be referred to a doctor. But for the vast majority of us, we just need to work with our despair and hopelessness and get some control over our thougth process.
I am a big fan of teaching good values in the schools and to have students learn that living can have a shock and awe experience because there is so much beauty in this world. However, in a market profit oriented society, we learn competitiveness, efficiencya and productivity and self survival. No wonder that we are a little depressed, feeling hopeless and despairing. No humanity in the above skills I just listed.
But yes, I am around Mormons and I do attend church but not all the meetings and no I am not active.
