    Right but I think their def is not robust or close enough. Anger is based on activating you to focus on someone or something hurting you or causing danger for you

      Anger is regarded as a secondary emotion.

      There’s no universal explanation for what provokes anger in a person, it’s generally underlying, unprocessed feelings unique to the individual.

          Emotions are somewhat intangible sensations that you can observe within some perceptive core of your being. We call that our consciousness. Typically the various types of emotions are governed by your body’s systems using chemical signaling. Most emotions felt in the consciousness also express themselves through various sensations in different areas of the body. For example, face getting flushed, frowning, clenched fists, dilated pupils, changing heart rate, tingling sensations, etc. So in a sense it’s very real to say that one can feel one’s feelings.

          It’s fair to say that anger requires a primary driving emotion that is not processed or expressed well. Anger is somewhat of a maladaptive process within the human psyche.

          Reasons for anger can be various, some examples are feelings of powerlessness, fear, resentment, jealousy, uncertainty, abandonment. One positive thing anger can do is act as an indicator that there is some underlying feeling that should be explored.
