Outrage is an intense emotional response characterized by anger, shock, and indignation. It often arises when someone perceives a significant injustice or violation of moral principles. Outrage can feel like a boiling rage, with a surge of energy that demands action. This emotion is crucial in motivating social change but can also lead to destructive behaviors if not managed well. According to Plutchik's theory, outrage is a high-intensity form of anger, positioned as the opposite of fear and aimed at destroying obstacles.
