The Folly of Anger
The reason they call it losing your temper is because when you do, you lose. You never gain. You can never defeat small minded people by responding to them in kind. The best way to view lowlands is by climbing to higher grounds. So don’t succumb to anger and speak evil words. Ecclesiastes 7:9 says “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools”. Fools speak negatively about their nation then pray positively about themselves as if they can prosper in their home after cursing it with their mouth?
