First thing that comes to mind is someone who can't control their anger is a madman.
Other than that, I think each person should refrain from violence as much as possible, but I agree that people see me as like a homeless guy type and potentially crazy. So, I see your point.
Still, it is good from our side to know what is considered normal by everyone else so that you don't end up too far from and even if you become a little far from it, you can still point to where normal is from where you currently are or even start walking towards normal so that you start appearing more and more normal to whoever is questioning you and then when they are no longer looking, you can start doing what you wanted to again.
I think it helped tremendously in keeping my job teaching by listening to this Dr. Laura show on the radio three hours a day. She had callers call in over and over and I started to realize that this was the way administrators and parents at schools use to screen whether I am crazy or not. So, when one of them checks on me to see if I'm normal, I use words like my responsibility, I know I was wrong to, but I am working towards, etc... People that are sociopathic can't do that and always just blame everything.
I am pretty sure I am mostly a responsible and moral person on my own, but it did help to learn the language of it. Don't go off on everything when someone is checking to see if you are normal.
