Question your have two assumptions.
Anger can lead to imperatives, I have to teach that a driver a lesson.
My child has to stop talking back to me.
You have to admit I'm right.
These thoughts can compel us to take actions we will soon regret because with a few exceptions, the
thoughts are overstated.
Preferences, for example, I might really want you to admit I'm right, and if you don't, life will
go on.
Mindful acceptance is a good fit to your question.
The utility of angry responses.
Anger is good at justifying itself, both its presence and the actions it can lead to.
For example, most drivers who retaliate against other drivers say they do so to teach their drivers
a lesson so they will improve their driving.
Does it help?
We don't have data to answer the question directly, but consider this.
Have you ever resolved to be a better driver because of an angry motorists behavior toward you?
With that idea in mind, be aware of thoughts that make lashing out in anger sound like a good plan.
