Rage is what activates people to violence in the first place. Calm down does not mean being a wimp and doing nothing. Calm down means exerting some discipline and control over your angry, mindless emotional first impulses. Calm down means to think logically and clearly about how best to deal with unpleasant and even scarey situations. We make much better decisions with better probabilities for good outcomes, when we calm down and think clearly.

I have survived an earthquake, 2 hurricanes, and a tornado that destroyed my house and 2 barns in the dark of night by remaining calm and thinking clearly about dealing with the situation.
