#03 RAGE - The Natural Latex Corset
More thoughts on rage (Part 1/2): “[…] To stay with the metaphor—rage can swallow you, and at first impulse rage feels like something negative… something one wants to avoid—something I want to avoid—in myself, but also in others. Without thinking too much about what “rage” actually is, I associate it with “loss of control,” “unpredictability,” something “dangerous”… human rage shuts down “clear thinking”… killing in the heat of rage… unimaginable acts out of rage… but… and here comes the big “but,” […] rage is, in a way, “pure emotion”… something “human.” Does rage therefore have a positive aspect? The ability to feel emotion… intense emotion? If we were capable of switching off everything we’ve learned… our “moral guardrails,” rage might actually give us power… the power to do things we wouldn’t be capable of in a balanced emotional state. In that sense, rage really does give us an additional ability.
Whether it is inherently something positive when a person is capable of more or less intense emotion… I don’t know… does that make someone “more alive” than another? I myself know sudden bursts of rage, and I almost always regret it when they break out. […] Thinking further, I see another positive aspect here. Outbursts of rage—the acute, overwhelming rage—put the “environment” on high alert… they awaken more instincts in others… “something’s wrong here,” “something is escalating here”… is there danger? In the most extreme case, a domino effect where one outburst of rage triggers further reactions. […]” - anonymous, Part 2/2 in next post
