As one who does not view the world or human behavior in what I see to be primitive ideas of "good" or "evil". To me anger is simply an emotion experienced by all higher intelligent and most lower ingelligent species. Anger can be a possitive emotion and when acted upon can yield many possitive results; such as what one stated on this thread in which the collective anger of masses of people against an unjust governmental regime lead to that regimes' downfall.
On the other side of that coin anger can lead to negative results both on a small, as well as, a massive scale such as what took place in pre-world war II Germany. Certain mass jealousy against the Jewish people led to anger which in time became hate, which in time helped give rise to the Nazi party regime which not only led to the senseless and unjust and cruel murder of millions of Jewish people, but also brought about another world wide war which also resulted in the deaths of millions of others. From an ethical point of view, the more radical Nazis became slaves to their anger and hatred of the Jews which lead to an absolute misguided use of power, which, in turn eventually led to their own destruction.
So anger can be a very powerful possitive and creative emotion, as well as, an extremely negative and destructive one. As with most human emotions anger is a double-edged sword. It is an interesting aspect of that paradox known as the human condition. Anger is a very powerful emotion which can lead to destructive outcomes, however, it is a limited power in that there is only so much one can destroy until there is nothing left to destroy but one's self.
