Anger is Good For You [Well, within limits!]

Anger is Good For You - Yahoo! News

This confirms what I've found to be true for myself: I'd much rather be pissed off then surrender to despair.

Anger has an energy and momentum to it; while despair is quite the opposite and can leave you stuck in inertia, drained of the energy and drive to do much of anything to try to make things better.

I'll take anger over depression any day.

However, as the article points out, chronic anger is certanly not a good or healthy thing. Besides being unhealthy, that much anger is just too negative.
