Anger is one Letter Short of Danger

Listen to this article

Hehehehe, ws talking to the security guard downstairs and we were talking about how some people are reactive etc... anyway, then came across a interesting sign which says:

A match stick has a head, but it does not have a brain.

Picture "Matchstick Lighter" by levi_sz

Therefore, whenever there is a little friction, it flares up immediately. Now, at times the effects of this flaring up can be devastating as it can engulf a whole lot of many things and play havoc and cause destruction.We have a lesson to learn from this tiny match-stick. All of us have heads. And unlike the match-stick, we have brains as well. Therefore, our wisdom lies in not reacting on impulse - a habit of great importance when managing people.


Nice analogy!


Psalm 37:8-9
8. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9. For evil men will be cut off, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.


James 1:19-20
19. My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 20. for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.
