"rage comes from the feeling of an immediate need to change something that isn't immediately changeable."

Well said, that's a really good point. When I've felt the most rage, the things I've been raging at had already happened and I couldn't do much to change them. Which just made the feeling worse.

For me, I think I have to mix ranting with the more zen, calm approach. I will rant somewhere where I don't publish it, or with a friend. And then respond to the actual cause of my rage in a well-reasoned, thoughtful way.
