As if I were a solipsist... I have faith that everything is not generated by myself, if you'll recall.
Quote:I DO intend to stand by the fact that I don't see how the experience of rage is any different in reality to the experience of outrage. I don't think something is ever angry or enraged unless it feels outraged: Unless it is angry AT something... in other words: Directed anger: Outrage.
How can it not be directed?
Blindly. Lashing. Out.
A raging brain may well be scrambling to understand, and if successful in doing so become outrage.

It is not rationally directed at anything... but if there were a direction to be accused of it: that would be everything.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
