Proverbs 12:16
We've all been there. The email that seems, to us, to be a bit off-hand, a bit condescending, a bit presumptuous, a bit unfair, a bit disrespectful - that is, a bit wounding to our ego. As we scan it we feel our chest tightening, our breathing becomes a little shallower, the blood is pumping faster - then like a demented woodpecker we're off furiously tapping the keyboard and with a flurry of CAPITAL LETTERS AND EXCLAMATION MARKS!!!! - the reply is sent.
A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult. (Pr 12:16)
Real strength is not to 'hit back' but to 'sit back' - and have a sigh and a smile at the email and your reaction to it.
