What we typically consider negative emotions such as anger, sadness, etc. are indications that we are somehow "off-track." When we pay attention to them, these feelings give us information about how to return to happiness. Anger, for example, informs us that a boundary was overstepped, or a value we hold dear has been violated. What needs to be done to right the wrong - do you need to speak up, take action or simply acknowledge your upset and let it go? When acknowledged and respected, emotions are a valuable guidance system to come home to happiness.
