Admonitions

"Unjust anger cannot be justified, for it tips the scale to one's ruin.  Those who are patient stay calm until the right moment, and then cheerfulness comes back to them.  They hold back their words until the right moment; then the lips of many tell of their good sense." (Sirach 1:22-24)
The Bible tells us so many times about controlling our anger and our words.  If we take some time to think more about others than ourselves, especially when interacting with others, we will live in better harmony.  The Bible gives us so many useful rules for a good society.  Why don't we go ahead and build the Kingdom of God on earth with what we already have and know?  Let's take time to love one another.
