Difference/relation Between Tears And Anger

[IronFox]

"The human mind, inherently impatient, triggers emotional reactions when our ideas about how things should be collide with how things are."

So feeling upset, angry... Is because what you think should be, isn't. The same goes with tears, it's not acceptance of what it is, and many other emotions.

But as most of us now, angryness and sadness are very correlated. What makes for example, one teenager react with tears when bullied, and the other on the very same stimuli react with angryness?

I think that it is not that easy to understand the difference between tears and anger. While tears can have a direct effect (like relaxation) on you it can also make people have compassion for you. But some immature people might see this as a weakness and abuse you even more. Anger has a more reactive feel to it. People will fear you. But at the same time you might attract similar people and get into real trouble. 

Also, one of the biggest differences probably is, that tears is an accumulation of negative impulses. While anger can be expressed whenever you want. But in case of accumulation the anger outburst can have serious consequences.

But you also have to realize that there is more to it than this negative aspect. People cry sometimes because of happiness. Anger is just negative. And to be honest, crying should be a little bit more accepted by the society. Men should cry whenever they want to. Football players do. So why should I not be allowed to? All my life I used to see people who express their anger radically as very "stupid" people. And actually I still think that. Because it is a nice thing to treat other people the way you want to be treated. There is some sort of karma in this world. The anger of one person can make another person also angry or cry. Evolutionary it had the purpose of defense. Whenever you were attacked by another animal you would have to defend yourself. But the times have changed. We don't go out and fight for our lifes. But still we have this component inside of us to feel this anger. Like an emergency button. But some people tend to use this emergency button way too often.
