If there's any emotion that gives us trouble it's anger. Experiencing it is hard on bodies. It raises our blood pressure, causes our hearts and heads to pound, makes us sweat and shake, and separates us from reason.

We don't need medical studies to tell us this. We know it makes us feel bad. All that adrenalin rushing around with no outlet for release. It's a call to action, and often there's no outlet. We just have to sit and endure. No wonder we resort to shouting and pounding our fists as if this would drive the source of our frustration away.

And, sadly, it often does. Anger is also hard on the hearts of those around us. Expressing it can be detrimental to relationships. We don't always have the patience and understanding to listen to our loved one's anger, and the quality of mercy can become strained.

Is the answer then to suppress our anger? This has become akin to argument about nature v. nurture, where we attempt to decide whether a person's personality is nature (the way they were born) or nurture (the way they were raised). Is anger nature or nurture? We're born with the ability to get angry.

It's a basic emotional response to frustration or danger that we need, because it gives us information. As has been said, "Anger is good for knowing what you want, but not for getting what you want." Our response to anger, is partly innate (nature) and partly learned (nurture).

If you grow up in a family where emotions are expressed, then you learn to do the same. You also learn how to express them, whether in an assertive, constructive manner, or a hostile, verbal attack.
