>From the perspective of an 'ultimate natural source', the potential for
anger, greed, lust and so on exist in humans, because these traits over
the millennia have enhanced Darwinian fitness.
"Natural selection is the process by which traits become more or less
common in a population due to consistent effects upon the survival or
reproduction of their bearers. It is a key mechanism of evolution."
Human ability to anger is embedded in the deep structure of the human
brain - the Limbic System, as it has significant reproductive fitness
enhancing tendencies (when not misused.) Hence the difficulty humans
face when attempting to 'control' or 'erase' anger.
In short, from a this-worldly perspective, (appropriate) anger is normal
and natural in humans, for, when allowed to be expressed sparingly, it
can contribute to individual human interest, to family interest, or to
group interest.
