Live by the sword, die by the sword.
By this, I don't mean the external results of anger coming back to you. I mean if, in general, a person follows his animal instincts, he can expect all the joys (including the sense of power of a good rage), and all the shortcomings (including heart disease, exhaustion, stress, etc.) that come with them.
It's one thing to act toward a conclusive end-- even murdering someone if you think that person has brought sufficient harm to you or yours to merit it. But the emotion of anger really achieves little except making one punch harder or run faster for a few seconds. No value there except the thrill of an adrenaline rush, IMO.
