The Purpose of Anger

Anger serves a valuable purpose as it alerts us to possible injustices and energizes us to confront them. It is not inherently good or bad, but rather a source of information about our values and what matters to us. The feeling of anger itself is valuable, but it's important to express it in productive ways and avoid letting it get the best of us.
