Making decisions in the midst of anger and rage is an emotional reaction without the benefit of “intelligence and thoughtfulness!”
It was your anger that provided George W. Bush with an 83% approval to Invade
In 2008, you were angry about Bush and the Republicans and you wanted change and elected President Obama and the Democrats. The President and his party did bring you change, and change for the better, but here you are again, “angry fools,” about to return to power the same meretricious Republicans that brought you pain for eight straight years.
“Anger is not always necessarily sinful, but it has such a tendency to run wild that whenever it displays itself, we should be quick to question its character, with this enquiry, “Does it do me well to be angry?” It may be we can answer yes, “YES,” Very frequently anger is the madman’s/madwoman’s firebrand, but sometimes it is Elijah’s fire from heaven.
Someone told Mr. Jay that grace was often grafted on a crab-stump. “Yes,” said he, “but the fruit will not be crabs.” We must not make natural infirmity an excuse for anger, but we must fly to the cross and pray the Lord to crucify our tempers, and renew us in gentleness and meekness after His own image. [Vengeance is mine said the Lord]”
