Whether you are Buddhist or not, religious or not, a compassionate, loving, peaceful mind is preferred by all, it directly and indirectly produces happiness for yourself and others, especially during very difficult times.

Regardless of how much we try to secure external means and objects of happiness, they will never last long, if however the basis of how we experience the world can be changed, then in a sense, we have changed the world already in a much more permanent way.

Anger in Buddhism is your worst enemy, it easily destroys your good habits, your loving attitudes, and creates a lot of negative imprints on the mind. Subduing anger over time, with patience, self-love, self-compassion, understanding is extremely worthwhile doing and is the best gift you can give yourself, your friends and family, and the entire world.
