That could very well be the case!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.I loved what was said in the movie "Jacobs Ladder" when he asked his Chiropractor why were so many Devils in his life, the Chiropractor said something like "they are here to give you a message and when you understand it they will turn into Angels"!.

" send us into a rage " !?

Others will express as they do!. Each individual has choice of how they respond / react to what another has reflected towards them!.

Someone behaves "annoying" / rude towards you!. That might annoy you, yet you have choice of how deep you draw in the "annoyance" of the other!.

The "lesson(s)" learned from being "provoked" by others !? " Gifts" of lessons are learned from even the most sour of people or experience!.

We can't "control" what another might do!. What we can "control" is our own selves!.

They are the ones who make us see who we really are in this life!. As much as I hate the people who make me want to die, they are the ones who have made me a better person and have made me stronger in life!. So yes, I do think they are our real teachers!. They are not our only teachers in life, we ourselves are our teachers as well!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

YES!. My good friend was being a real annoyance the other day!. Purposely trying to get on my nerve and tick me off while I was in a heated game of ping pong!. In a heated rage I finally had it and paddled his **** with my racket!. My 80 dollar racket snapped in half and there I stood in embarassment, lesson learned!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

On this I whole heartily agree with Dances with Kali!. My Teacher used to say, "If a demon makes you run for Home, you have entertained Angels unaware!. Bottom line is we get what we need from the best available source to help us see ourselves with clarity!. Until we have clarity we can not have Wisdom!. Another wise friend of mine would say we polish our internal mirror, so that when we gaze into it, what we see is without distortion!. I just this moment as writing this had a ah-ha about it, but I am sure I could never explain it!.
