Slightly tangential: anger, created by the violation of one's values, releases cortisol, the "stress hormone", which is very impactful on the nervous system, destroying neurons to carve neural pathways fast in order to learn that something is dangerous.
1 min of anger generates enough cortisol for the immune system to work for 1 hour in order to clear the whole thing. Imagine the damage of time spent reading (and possibly responding to, even if it's only in one's own mind) a random thread of enraging comments on the Internet.
Imagine the impact of having one's values constantly challenged in a professional setting, generating inordinate amounts of anger 8 hours a day.
It's really no wonder that this quickly generates constant, taxing fight-or-flight reactions due to abnormal anxiety, leading to irrational decisions and ultimately burnout and depression, where the untamed beast feeds unto itself in an uncontrolled feedback loop, even when the initial source of stress is removed.
This short, funny (yet well researched) video about emotions has been enlightening.
