The Real Reason

It seems anger is really just "less than I expected."

Above Or Below

If it is above your expectation, you feel moved; if it is below, you get angry.

🌋 So much anger! Try a lower line ▼.
🙂 Not bad! Maybe a little lower?
🌈 So many wows! You are an easygoing penguin.
Lower The Line

So if you lower your expectations a little, you feel moved more and get angry less.

Easygoing People

Easygoing people may just be people with low expectations.
