On a recent Sunday afternoon as I was walking my dogs I heard a very angry loud voice coming from a lady in a car. She wasn’t yelling at someone with her; she was alone. I looked hard to see if she was on a cell phone but no, she was not. Still, an ear splitting rage was spewing out of her.<\/p>\n
After she turned the corner I could actually still hear her even when she got about three blocks up the street. What caused it I wondered? This was deep anger piled upon anger over time until there was nothing left but a raging bull.<\/p>\n
I remember feeling her poison spill onto me that afternoon even though I was a simple passer-by. Her anger was like an assault on my spirit. For one thing, it was almost as if her anger triggered the same in me. I felt myself wanting to yell at her to “SHUT UP” and not spit out her angry noise pollution on my quiet well mannered neighborhood.<\/p>\n
How likely is it that an angry retort from me would have helped the situation? Actually, in her condition, it might have landed me in a hospital. She was out of control but I didn’t need to follow suit. The Bible says; “Hot tempers start fights; a calm, cool spirit keeps the peace”<\/b> (Proverbs 15:18 from The Message). I’ll stay on the side that keeps the peace.<\/p>\n
