Definition of rage:
Ethicists define rage as a psychical action due to which the blood in the heart is excited. Hence, it
spreads in the arteries and reaches the top of the body and makes the brain as same as a cave in
which fire is flared to blacken its sides and cause that little torch to extinguish. Thus, the face and

fills the brain, as well as the other nerves, with darkening smokes. Such smokes screen the

‐ Engrossment in working and the continuation of staying up and engaging the mind with greed

and fire. It has also cut off the bonds of relations between kinsmen, fathers, sons, and friends.
Tongues uttered insults and revilement because of rage that unveiled hatred and schadenfreude,
