I guess I'm just not understanding, we got from anger being helpful or healthy, so we're at why it isn't one over the other right? |

Sponsor | | KingBoy | Feb 7, 4:01am | | Anger plays havoc on the immune system, especially when prolonged. Paul Martin's The Sickening Mind: Brain, Behaviour, Immunity and Disease offers a good overview of psychoneuroimmunological research, with practical information on how anger, stress, fear and so on affect one's biochemistry and state of mind, each of which influences the other. Maybe getting angry can be positive when justified (there is no shortage of good examples) and constructively channelled, but throwing a hissy fit because you stubbed your toe won't get you anywhere. |

| | JugglingAct | May 22, 2:22pm | 955810 clearly communicated what I intuited on the subject. I don't think it is an action, or an emotion exactly either. I believe that it is an instinct to protect us against anything that threatens our livelihood or our values. This includes being angry with ourselves (aka moral crises) when the choices we have to choose from are a conflict of interest.
I also believe it is related to evolution, but it is only one half of the equation. It could be possible that our sense of anger is getting more refined as we need to call upon it more often for a heightened sense of awareness, judgement, and motivation. Without this red flag, we would live for the moment. But it also could be just be more apparent now than ever, as society's constraints for the expression of anger get more and more restrictive. Perhaps you are isolating the wrong variable. Is it the fact that the students ALLOWED themselves experience the stress (which is related but not the same as anger) that arose that weakened their immune sytems? Or is it that they had a feeling of stress and chose to ignore the warning that the activity was "too much" and could be damaging?
I believe it is a clash between instinct and free will causes the illness. I read an article about the tradeoff between higher intelligence and health recently, and I didn't fully grasp it until THIS MOMENT having this discussion. :)
