Humans are not uncontrollably aggressive all of the time. This is because of catharsis. Catharsis is the process of releasing negative energy from the mind. It is a way of: venting aggression, letting off steam, releasing emotions and satisfying our violent impulses. This makes us feel better, but is in a safer way than acting in a highly aggressive manner towards others.
We deal with our aggressive instincts by redirecting them into other activities, e.g taking part in sport, playing violent video games, watching violence like boxing, watching violent films etc.
