Fear. Anger is rooted in that anyway. Nor is anger always bad.

@uncalled4 That anger is a secondary emotion rooted in fear comes from a mistaken understanding of our nervous system and it´s evolution

@ElRengo I agree with you that there is more than one impetus. I don't agree that fear has nothing to do with it.

@uncalled4
Most of emotions have SOME mutual relationship.
But to derive anger from solely or mostly fear is biased by philosophical prefferences and individual development, not in a wider evolutive view.
There were some experiences based in brain scanning about the sequence of those emotions.
It´s "reading" missed some other facts.

@uncalled4 why does everyone say anger is rooted in fear?

@popmol
Not everyone but you will hear / read it as a mainstream "explanation".
A one biased by the "ethical" hyerarchies of some a la mode philosophy and the schools of thought (mainly in psihology) that coopted them (Anger.......BAD, also fear but in a lesser scale).
Also by the focus on each individual´s development since kids without considering it´s evolutive origins and social frame as adults.
Same kind of reductionism as is critiziced on some biological approaches by other academic disciplines regarding the role of DNA.
The origin of anger in fear was tryed to be proved by brain scanning showing the sequence of them.
They forgot that becoming suddenly aware of what MAY be a risk (ie an unexpected noise) uses the same nervous channels than fear not being the same causal category.

@ElRengo yeah but than why is everyone that called anger coming from fear say it that way than its stupid. i HATE people who can't put their carts back in the store, does that come from some primal fear of loose carts?

also if you just look at our brains everything goes through there so without zooming into the brain anger and happiness is the same!

its what pisses me of about phobias too, phobia is an irrational fear, but than they call things like hating a religion "religiousphobia" but i don't fear them i hate them. fear would be aah religious sign run away! hating them is aah a religious sign burn it!

When scientific concepts become "common sense" jargon everyone feels free to speculate about flying cows and to call it Science.
