Why do we break things when we are furious?
In: Other
Anger is designed to make us aggressive. It’s the “fight” part of “fight or flight”. It’s there to make us motivated enough to try and obliterate the thing that is causing a problem for us. To work, anger needs to make us more willing to break things and more likely to try breaking things. Sometimes that means the thing making us angry, sometimes it means incidental things, if something else is stopping us from breaking the thing that is making us angry, like anti-murder laws.
