Pro 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Pro 15:2aThe tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
As a result of hash realities in life, depression and hopelessness, people are easily provoked. Many people, oblivious of what is happening will unconsciously vent it out to anybody with little or no provocation.
One angry word will always beget another. When angry words multiply , what follows is a war of words; a small “third world war” spontaneously erupts! One thing will quickly lead to another and if both parties fail to come back to their senses…..
But a gentle answer will disarm the most furious characters. Soft tender words that are full of grace will turn off the wrath and quench any smouldering fires. Mild and conciliatory words often win those whom harsh and irritating language would have driven us further apart.
