You know, it's funny. One of the things that I oftentimes talk to people about, so I did a TED Talk on anger a few years back a while ago. And so the premise of that talk is that anger is good for you. There it is. That anger is good for you in all these different ways.

And it's what we do with it that is most reasonable. Anger, like any emotion, it exists in us because of our evolutionary history.
