Anger.
There's anger every, some people have more of it than others. I found a great verse in the bible today while reading proverbs. It's proverbs chapter 12 verse 16. It reads, "A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man over looks an insult." There are a lot of verses like that, but what strikes me is that the word fool is in the verse. I've been noticing a lot lately that fool is used in proverbs for describing ignorant people.
Miriam webster says that a fool is: Noun: a silly or stupid person; a person who lacks judgment or sense.
The bible says a lot of things that add to this.
pr.15:5 A fool spurns his father's disciplin, wbut whoever heeds correction shows prudence.
pr.18:2 A fool find no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions.
pr.28:25 He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.
It's pretty plain to see that some of my frends are fools. they don't listen to correction, the blow up at small things, and always do what they want. It kind of sucks to see this and my own lack of being able to stand up. Like, I read this and I try to change, but it dosen't effect everyone the same, it's like there's this kind of tolerance we build up towards God, either through life or through mediums of culture. One can be so hurt and angered that this stuff just rolls right off their shoulders, but another person could be so intolerant, that they get "drunk" off of the word. Drunk isn't the same context, but you get it, that everyone's effected differently. Bleh. Rambling. It rained today )8
o0o0o Here's a another painting I really like, it's by van Gogh. Titled starry night.
