When it reaches the point where other people might be physically hurt it turns into something undesirable and has to be controlled.

If one is hot headed and cools down easy then it is a way of releasing steam. Everyone falls into that category, and it is healthy. Holding a grudge on the other hand is undesirable. It hurts the person as much as it hurts the person it is directed against. A person who is angry has got their blood pressure up, and the thinking gets convoluted. If it is for a short time it will not hurt but if it stays on longer it can hurt a lot. That is why it is said that you should not take a decision when you are angry, because when your mind is calm, your thinking is clear.
