A story is told of a snake that entered a Carpentry Shop, and as it crawled to the corner, it went through a saw and hurt itself a little bit.
At that time he turned and bit the saw, and biting the saw, he hurt himself badly in the mouth.
Then, not understanding what was happening to him and thinking that the saw was attacking him, he decided to roll around the saw as if wanting to suffocate it with all its strength.
The rest, as they say, is history.
Sometimes we react in anger, thinking about hurting those who hurt us, but we end up hurting ourselves.
Fighting every โbattleโ you are provoked with will not help you live a successful and happy life. Some battles will take much more from you than you will get from them if you win.
Sometimes when angry, we try to cause harm to others. But as time passes by, we realize that we caused more harm to ourselves. It is not necessary that we react to everything. Step back and ask ourselves if the matter is really worth responding to.
The wise King Solomon advises in Prov 24:29: ๐๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ญ๐ฐ๐ธ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐จ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ด ๐จ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ข๐ต ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด๐ต๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ [๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ง๐ช๐ต๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ช๐ด ๐ด๐ฆ๐ญ๐ง-๐ค๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ต๐ณ๐ฐ๐ญ],

As you go out today, may I suggest to you to be in control of your emotions. It is ok to angry. But when you allow the anger to control you, it is likely you will end up doing something you will regret later. Be matured enough to detached yourself from the situation and use wisdom. I believe you have plenty of it.
Wishing you a great Wednesday.
