So what’s the difference between “Anger” and “Aggression”. Anger is a feeling that we experience, and aggression is an action that results from it. Similar to how sadness is a feeling and crying is a resultant action.

Not all anger leads to aggression. It depends on the intensity of our feelings an also our social upbringing. For example, you might feel angry at your boss or friend, but not necessarily enough to push you to take an aggresive action. If our parents were to fight in front of us when we were kids, we would be subconsciously taught to be aggresive whenever we get into an argument with someone.
How do you handle your emotions? Do you have a tendency to be aggresive towards people whenever you are angry? Or do you often have crazy thoughts of kicking someone’s ass? There are better ways to solve issues and dealing with difficult relationships which don’t involve violence. Know that we all have a choice in life.
