Prayers -- not swears!
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but harsh words stir up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)An interesting fact of physics:
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days, you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee. Hardly seems worth it, does it? Most fussing, yelling, and cursing causes far more harm than good and is almost never worth the damage that's done. So, next time you're inclined to huff, puff, and blow off
steam by raising your voice with five minutes of yelling just think: with another 8 years, 7 months, 5 days, 23 hours and 55 minutes, you could have a hot cup of joe -- but no friends to drink it with... It can take only one second of yelling to destroy a relationship... Why not just skip it and have the coffee instead? Keep your cool because coffee is supposed to be ground up -- not people. |

(As the culture continues on its current track, things like anger, violence & swearing become "commonplace" -- but they're certainly not good for you! These habits can too easily creep in and soon you're behaving in ways beneath you... However accepted they become let's keep striving toward a spiritual ideal honoring the true you by choosing something better.)
