In support of the rage of man

[Yonadav]

ok perhaps healing is the wrong word, would resolving be better. I don't think coping is enough. Crying yourself in bed doesn't resolve issues, it just helps to to express those emotions. Once you express you can cope. Neither of those goes to solving the source problem or resolving it. You can be a rage-aholic and not be broken, but it's pretty obvious to most that you have some unresolved issues or powerful chemicals preventing your repeated control of those emotions publicly. Repeated lack of self-control publicly is part of the definition for broken for me and that's why I used it, if there is a better word, I'm down.

Someone who is a rage-aholic probably is broken. But a person who sometimes cries themselves to sleep isn't necessarily broken. And the source of the hurt frequently can't be resolved. Episodes of rage or crying one's self to sleep are pretty normal steps in the path to acceptance.

I agree that there is a high chance that a person who repeatedly lacks self control in public probably is broken. But this discussion hasn't been about chronic lack of self-control. We have been talking about a guy who tried to cope with growing feelings of rage by taking a walk to cool down, was prevented from doing so, and experienced an episode of rage. 

People have been diagnosing him with rage issues, and one buffoon told him that he was so fragile that he should be in a hospital.  Benny has been gaslighted by society so bad that I think that he's not even connecting the obvious dots between his episode of rage and having been blocked from using the appropriate coping mechanism. He had pressure building up, he tried to open the release valve, and someone else insisted on keeping the release valve closed. That is obviously going to result in an episode of rage. Anyone who argues that this should not have resulted in an episode of rage is completely denying reality.
