Anger is a state of being, whether transiently or chronically. All beings are capable of it. It's part of the emotional spectrum of states of feeling which ranges from complete deathfulness up to exhilerated enthusiasm and serenity. In general it is on the south side of the spectrum, meaning it tends to be more destructive and less truthful than higher states such as boredom or cheerful interest.

There is nothing theological or mystical about it, though.

It does make for very poor learning, which is why exposing infants to it unduly is not a good idea.
