Some degree of malice is contained in every degree of anger.9 That is why it always hurts us when someone is angry at us. Consequently, we would not choose to have others angry at us unless some ulterior end were to be gained by it. We know that people who are angry at us will our harm, and by just their look (or refusal to look) or the raising of their voice (or not speaking at all) they intend to make a painful impression on us. They certainly succeed.
