1 . Anger is a basic human emotion that is experienced by all people. Usually triggered (触发) by an emotional hurt, anger is usually experienced as an unpleasant feeling that occurs when we think we have been injured, mistreated, opposed in our long-held views.     1    

The experience of anger varies widely: how often anger occurs and how long it lasts are different for each person. People also vary in how easily they get angry, as well as how comfortable they are with feeling angry.     2     Some people are very aware of their anger, while others fail to recognize anger when it occurs. Regardless of how often we actually experience anger, it is a common and unavoidable emotion.

    3     When well managed, anger or annoyance has very few harmful health or interpersonal consequences (结果). At its roots, anger is a signal to you that something in your environment isn’t right. It catches your attention and encourages you to take action to correct that wrong thing. How you end up dealing with the anger signal has very important consequences for your overall health, however. When you express anger, your actions trigger others to become angry too.     4     Violence can follow. You may develop a reputation (名声) that no one wants to be around you.

Out of control, anger distances friends, co-workers and family members. It also has a clear relationship with health problems and an early death.     5
