Hate and Rage-- What's the difference?

I hate it when I run out of bourbon.

I feel rage when the stewardess on Delta says there is no Woodford Reserve left.

Can one part of the brain, over run the others? Yes, absolutely.

Seriously, who wants to be around people filled with hate and rage?

I mean, have you ever seen a Trump rally?

Scary stuff!

Yup.

I'm ashamed to say, I fly commercial.

I am very interested in animal behavior, and human's are animals, so much of it can apply. Most of what we see as negative emotion, is some form of arousal. Anger is arousal and as long as it's proportionate and appropriate to the situation - it's normal. In fact, it is even beneficial because it can spur one to some sort of action. Fear can often be confused with anger or come out as anger - one easy example, your kid does something incredibly stupid/dangerous and you're scared he could have killed himself, relieved that he is ok, and expressing it in anger.

As an emotion - a person or animal can be angry but still able to learn, to process information. Rage is what happens at the far extreme of the spectrum. With rage, there is no control, the body and brain are flooded with "flight or fight" hormones and learning/processing information is impossible at that moment.

I think anger is a healthy emotion, but rage is not.
It's like anxiety - a certain amount of anxiety is beneficial, it spurs us to better efforts, keeps us aware of what might be dangerous, but at it's extreme end, it can be crippling and disfunctional.

I used to get angry and enraged when my sports teams lost. I once put my fist through a wall when my hockey team couldn't score.

For me, rage has only occurred where there is a high level of emotional involvement in something. I haven't felt rage in years, mainly because there are few circumstances in my life anymore that provoke it.

I think it would be pretty miserable to experience rage on a regular basis.

I think the fluoride that the Government is putting in the water supply is keeping me too docile to feel rage or anger.

You probably feel even more rage when you throw a fit, and the air marshal escorts you off the plane.


at 50,000 feet.....

You were afraid that if they couldn't get any Cocain, they wouldn't skate as well?

Maybe.

OR, it could the quart of vodka you swig for breakfast every morning...

I'm just sayin..

SL and Tilly get angry when you post off topic, and several of your recent postings have been off topic.

Try to stay on the topic of hate and rage please.

Thank you.

You've appointed yourself hall monitor?

Rage is related to violation.

I think people would be a lot happier if they let go of their rage. For instance, I recently inadvertently triggered someone's rage by not responding to a post quickly enough to suit them.

What purpose does that rage serve the rager?

Rage in the condition of all out fight. Where fear is subverted and maximum damage unleashed.

As someone else noted, we are ultimately animals.

 

[Ravi]

What purpose is the all out fight that requires rage? Rage makes you do stupid things and is not necessary for defense.

 

[Ravi]

Yeah, we are animals of a sort but we are able to imagine our futures in a way that no other animal can that I know of.
