“WE” don’t.

People that are not in control of their emotions do.

I have never had the urge to destroy something when I was angry. I tossed a table once to show my ex how stupid her throwing her smart phone was. She never threw it again (that I am aware of).

This is really no different than wanting to fight someone when you are mad.
