Realization that there is no need in anger or, if it nevertheless manages to get risen automatically by one of the relevant reflexes or instincts, there's no need in using it. It is evaluated by the person as merely a signal or indication. Anger is but a reaction created by nature and is meaningful for our survival in certain situations. A person mature and wise enough will surely abandon anger in favor of constructivism. This is true for other non-positive feelings too, for example, sadness.
