HotTemperedMan vs. PatientMan - An Inner Battle of Epic Proportions

have you ever had someone try to get into an argument with you for no reason? they just try to provoke you... it's weird how people get in that mode where it doesn't matter what you are talking about, they just want to fight about it... it's annoying, and frustrating, and hard to rise above because you instinctively want to snap back... but that nasty behavior is usually a reaction to something else that has happened in the other person's life, and for some reason they are bringing it to you and saying "I'm frustrated with life, and I'm gonna make you as miserable as I am" Why do we get this way? I know that I get this way from time to time... and I am frustrated with myself because of this... it's funny how love and anger are contagious... they really are... try it some time...

A hot-tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.
Proverbs 15:18

take it easy.
