He that hath no
rule over his own spirit
is like a city that is broken down, and without walls.
Proverbs 25:28 | |
 
When a person loses his temper, one of the most common
expressions used to describe the situation is "fly off
the handle." This phrase refers to the head of a hammer
coming loose from its handle as the carpenter attempts
to use it. Sever things happen as a result:
* First, the hammer becomes useless - no longer
good for work. In like manner, when a person loses his
temper, he often loses his effectiveness. Anything he says
may not be taken seriously and is likely to be unproductive.
* Second, the hammerhead - twirling out of control
is likely to cause some type of damage to anything in its path.
The person who loses his temper causes damage even if he doesn't
realize it - perhaps physically to people or objects in his way,
and nearly always emotionally to those who feel they are victims
of uncontrolled wrath.
* Third, the repair of both the hammer and the resulting
damage takes time. The person who loses his temper may recover
quickly, but the person who is the victim of a hot temper rarely
recovers as quickly.
KEEP YOUR TEMPER TODAY!.....NOBODY ELSE WANTS IT!!
