“Speak when you are angry - and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.” Dr. Laurence J. Peter
“A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Pro.15 ESV
After learning the hard way, Brenda and I have made it a personal rule to never argue when angry. We have also resolved to never leave a matter unresolved. Of course this only works if you agree to it before any argument begins. But after establishing this as your standard operating procedure, it will remind you that when an argument starts to “table” the matter, until tempers have cooled. Coming back to the table later will keep differences from from becoming arguments again and again. Learn to stop talking when angry but never stop talking through issues important to you. 10/4/11 Conversations Within ts (Durham, NC)
