It's a good theory, JJ.

I don't think any of us wake up one morning and say "I'm going to be angry today."

I believed it's a learned reflex or attitude. I don't think it's inherited or there is an "anger" gene.

Like JJ said, some people are so comfortable wrapped up in their anger, that to try anything else, would take them outside their comfort zone, probably to the point of having an anxiety attack or panic attack.

Can anger be "unlearned".. I think so. With a lot of congnitive behavior therapy.
