The feeling anger can come from two different places within us. Anger that comes from an adult, rational place can be called outrage. Outrage mobilizes us to take appropriate action when harm is being done to ourselves, others, and the planet. Outrage is a positive emotion in that it moves us to action – to stop crime and violence, cleaning up the environment, and so on. Outrage comes from a principled place within, a place of integrity, caring and compassion.
