Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.
Anger can be a powerful force for good or bad. Poison for those that do not know how to wield it
You have some example on when anger brings up good?
Agreed. You can't control the fact that you feel the anger, but you can control what you do with that feeling. As you said, once the feeling is there, you can turn it into a positive or a negative. If handled correctly, most people wouldn't even notice you became angry.

One of my favorite Lincoln quotes is a comment he wrote to a friend. I can't remember the context or the full sentence it was the way he framed anger that was important. He said something along the lines of
"I have let myself indulge in anger for long enough."
Anger is very often an unproductive and indeed a destructive indulgence.
true. not good.

"A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention"
Proverbs 15:18
"Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger"
James 1:19

My hatred keeps me warm.
"Anger is just anger. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It just is. It's what you do with it that matters. It's like anything else. You can use it to build or destroy. You just have to make the choice.
Constructive anger, also known as passion. Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed slaves. Passion has brought justice where there is savagery. Passion has created freedom when there is nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their lives and build something Better, stronger, and more beautiful. Anger can help build if it's properly controlled."
-Partially paraphrased quote from the Dresden Files.
But this is something that I wholeheartedly believe.
Anger is one manifestation of fear. I agree, not good or bad. We must feel what we feel. And while all light and love might be ideal, we are humans that feel things. And sometimes anger is necessary to make things shift back to love. My 2 sats.
Gigi is right, Anger is a lower level emotion and disturbs your own reality, similar low frequency emotions are envy, fear and hate.
It's all about raising our own individual energy level to influence global collective consciousnes on a level beyond the material world.

Sometimes I feel that anger is a necessary prerequisite for personal enlightment. Distilling anger really boils down to a clash of anxiety and disappointment. This is why people say, "I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed."
Anxiety is the easy part to deal with. There are mechanics and practices. Disappointment requires resolution.
