Anger

Is an interesting emotional response. How did it come to being? Well, probably when humans were still on the verge of survival, anger helped spark a sense of intimidation and retaliation against predators that would attack the individual. Nowadays it's a cause of many absurd and illogical actions that would otherwise make a world quite ideal. If there was no anger in teh world... think of how much problems that would solve. What a hindering emotional response. The best defense against this would be to try and suppress it as much as possible, just as any emotion I suppose. No matter how illogical the reasoning is. Reason with calmness and assurance, not with fire and passion. And look at the whole picture; try seeing how the opponent sees the situation, if you have an opponent.
