There are no negative or positive emotions.
There are only useful & useless ones.
If you are fleeing or fighting for you life, then anger is useful.
If you are stuck in a traffic jam, then patience would be of more use than anger.

This is another bulletin from The Depatment of Stating The Bleeding Obvious.

As some might have seen in the American election, the angry people wanted it more and ended up winning more seats. Luckily, it wasn’t true everywhere, but in quite a few places people were angry about the lack of progress. I think they should do a separate study on the power of fear as well.

there’s a good article on cognitive dissonance at that site…especially in view of yesterday’s election results in the US!

I heard that there are no unhealthy/negative emotions, just unhealthy/negative ways of experiencing them. Makes sense.
