When Self-Value Is High, There Is No Rage
Briefly

Self-value and self-esteem differ significantly; self-value relates to how one treats oneself, while self-esteem pertains to feelings about oneself. High self-value leads to fostering growth and humane values, whereas low self-value manifests in feelings of entitlement, resentment, and rage. Rage is a severe reaction rooted in chronic resentment and perceived violations of personal rights and boundaries. This behaviour reflects a broader societal trend towards increasing narcissism and a concerning acceptance of violence as a means of expressing disagreement or resistance.
Self-value is often conflated with self-esteem. The latter is how you feel about yourself. Self-value is how you treat yourself.
Signs that self-value is high include interest in growth, supporting and nurturing family, honoring humane values, and contributing to a better world.
Rage is an extreme form of anger, caused by a perceived violation of rights, status, or personal boundaries.
The decades-long trend of increasing narcissism is now veering toward psychopathy, with many celebrating assault and viewing brutal terrorism as justified.
