Anger Burns

Been looking at the book of James, in particular chapter 4.

Verse one asks the questions: What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?

What happens on the outside is a picture of something deeper that's happening on the inside.

We so easily get offended & upset over the trivial. If we could only learn to get angry over the true injustices of the world as God does..

...few of us do. Round and round we go taking shots at each other with our venomous words that attempt to assassinate character.

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned." ~Buddha
