Anger and calmness

Ecclesiastes 10


4 If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place,
for calmness [1] will lay great offenses to rest.


I thought this was a very practical verse!

  1. It is all to easy to get angry, being calm is much harder, but more rewarding.

  2. I am for the most part a calm person... but lately as i get older and tired and have lots of little chickens(children) pecking at me... I tend yo be snappy. I don't like that. Need to fix it.

  3. It is amazing the effect calmness has around angry people. I work in sales and see a lot of insecurity and anger in customers. Calmness is the antidote. Happy Sunday!

  5. I'm thinking of the verse, "a soft answer turns away wrath."
