I'd like to do a series on 56 different emotions which we'll eventually get through as time permits.

Anger

Anger is an intense emotion defined as a perceived provocation, the invasion of one's boundaries, or a threat. From an evolutionary standpoint, anger serves to mobilize psychological resources in order to address the threat/invasion. Anger is directed at an individual of equal status.

Try to keep it fresh by what is current but its also cool to retrospect

The fact that the potential of denial is so strong in people that they may claim the sky is purple if so much as someone they trust tells them that.
