When it moves from being a fleeting annoyance into full-fledged rage, however, it can destroy relationships at home, at work or school, and influence the overall quality of ones life. Those who are hot-tempered stir up strife, but those who are slow to anger calm contention. Sometimes they sulk, get physically ill or withdraw socially. Gary Smalley, among others, points out that anxiety, worry, depression and fear are all outgrowths of anger. Perhaps that is why we are admonished to not keep hurt feelings more than a day and that before we go to bed each night we need to settle up any interpersonal differences we might have encountered during that day.
History is full of stories of angry people.
A summit in June between the two nations resulted in an agreement to work toward reconciliation. This week's reunions were part of the move toward greater harmony between the two nations. Your son is here, cried Hong Se Wan who bowed deeply to a picture of his deceased father and his 86-year old mother who wouldn't let him go. Reunions of this type remind us of what it will be like in Heaven where anger and sin will be replaced by eternal happiness. If our family background or other circumstances in life have dealt us a severe blow, we can seek help from professionals and feed on the Word of God and the sage advice such as found in the Book of Proverbs.
