RAGE\ANGER

RAGE/ANGER

Anger is self preservation either physical, emotional, spiritual by being physically or verbally abusive. It can be argued that anger in it’s purest essence is actually a positive emotion and can be used positively. Rage is different from anger. Whereas you can focus aggression to or be angry at someone – in a state of rage there may be many emotions at once, making concentration impossible. A toddler pouting out his lip, stomping
his feet is anger (focused on parent) A crying newborn baby is rage (unfocused)
