Can anger be healthy at times?

We can make a distinction between healthy and unhealthy anger.  When we are first treated unjustly by others, there is a tendency to feel angry, which is a sign of self-respect (people should not be treating you this way) and a sign that you uphold moral standards of right and wrong.  In contrast, unhealthy anger is the kind that takes up residence in the human heart, festers, grows more intense, and literally can last for years.  This is unhealthy because it can lead to fatigue, discouragement, and mistrust for other relationships.
