Low self esteem and feelings of hopelessness can fuel problem anger. While many highly intelligent people experience all the same feelings of anger and despair as their less intelligent counterparts, when evaluating what to do, they tend to take a moderate position. Your point about hopefulness is important. Hope is a sign of mental health. When people in poverty experience hope and are given opportunities to develop their potential they can channel their anger positively. Thank you for your interesting comment, Kelly.

Do you find that people who feel inadequate and hopeless struggle more with anger? The comment "Studies show that people of higher intelligence tend to take moderate positions" I find very interesting. Could it be that perhaps the person with higher intelligence has more self-confidence and doesn't feel as hopeless and frustrated? The person with higher intelligence is more successful and their voice is heard, more opportunities abound and their lives are better, less to be angry about? It seems that people who are angry will first internalize their anger, they take it out on themselves with behaviors that demonstrate their self loathing. Some will take it out on their families, with abuse and neglect and others will vent that anger on strangers, and their community. Perhaps it all begins with self-esteem and the ability to feel hope. I live near San Francisco. The areas with the most violent crime are the areas with the most poverty. I know that drugs play a role, also gangs and a sense of hopelessness often found in these neighborhoods. Excellent advice.
