Yes. "A lot of people" do suffer from anger issues - and most do not, luckily for mankind at large. That is what I am trying to say. I think that the perception of normalcy is intuitive, and the fact that you intuitively stress the exceptions, the "many people", your own experience - anything, that is, that is sectional, minority, or personal - strongly suggests to me that you understand, on some level, what this intuitive idea of human normality is about. You just prefer to stress the opposite poles - the exceptions, the deviation, the sectionality. And I am far from condemning you for it. Variation is both necessary and largely positive, and we should never argue as if it did not exist. I certainly did not (check my answer to [profile] elskuligr, if you have not already done so. But I think the notion of proving everything rationally is unsustainable; it leads to an eternal regress.
