Anger has established a bad reputation for itself in comparison to other emotions that are particularly valued or enjoyed like happiness, excitement, and so forth. Because anger has the potential for cataclysmic outcomes such as aggression and violence, many people feel as though they would prefer if anger was banished from existence. However, those who take an evolutionary stance on emotions have determined that every emotion is useful in certain circumstances. For example, stress and anxiety have usefulness in situations where we need to achieve higher standards of performance. Likewise, anger is not always detrimental or useless in our relationship with the world around us. One particular benefit of anger is that it encourages survival. Anger alerts us when we feel threatened or in danger in certain situations, and motivates us to act in self-preservation. Another benefit of anger is that it shows us what is important to us and pushes us to strive towards our greatest life objectives. Anger can also alert us to injustice, and energize us to right the wrongs of the fallen world. Anger can even lead to self-improvement because it ultimately increases our emotional intelligence. Those who possess a high level of emotional intelligence do not suppress anger but instead use its insights to gain its positives. Anger can also alert us of our own faults and drawbacks, which can motivate us to better ourselves and reach our greatest potential. Constructive anger breaks through its unfavored state and can assist us if we allow ourselves to feel and utilize it. So get angry every once in a while and allow its wisdom to move you towards positivity.
