Where is that line between strength and aggression, play and abuse, defense and assault? Where in our lives do we wrestle with our own impulses to become violent – physically, emotionally, mentally? What to do when we know we’ve crossed the line? How to respond when others feel we have crossed the line? How do we own our violence – good and bad? Got a story to share about struggles with your own impulse for violence? Please let Michael know.
