A soft answer turneth away wrath...
a SOFT answer...
{pauing to consider how I can give a SOFT answer}
turneth away wrath...
That is, if I want to avoid strife (caused by grievous words), then I should give a soft answer. If I like strife and wrath, then I should answer the way that I 'naturally' would answer. But if I want peace, whether it be with my spouse, co-workers, kids, teachers, friends, etc., then I should give a soft answer.
Proverbs 15:1 - think about that today.
Just a thought...

I think about it daily. LIVING it is the challenge for me!
WHAT!?
Are you telling me we have to DO what's right, and not just KNOW what's right? oh boy...
...this changes everything!
My boss will have the soft voice but nasty words. He thinks he's being nice. I'm trying ever so nicely to tell him a soft answer isn't just tone. :)
Just yell at your boss to tell him to be nice!
Trust me..it's tempting!
