The difference between uncontrolled fury often from past hurt (rage), and a valid emotional response to current situations (anger). Rage is an accumulation of past experiences in which one has not expressed how they were feeling. Often-times suppressing the healthy expression of one's feelings (anger) will lead to an eruption (rage). During these eruptions one often is giving an accumulation of all the unexpressed past feelings, causing one to over-exaggerate the response. Anger is information provided by perception that signals one is having their boundaries crossed or they are being abused, physically or emotionally.

Example Usage

After years of suppressing my anger whenever my boundaries were violated, I eventually erupted in rage over minor things—realizing later it wasn't about that small issue, but the accumulation of unexpressed feelings from the past.
