“A
gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge, but
the mouth of the fool gushes folly.”
Proverbs 15:1-2
We all know them. The people who think they know everything and
let us know it. Sometimes they are
totally wrong. It is then that we have
some choices. We can publicly confront
them and risk making them mad, or let them go on making an idiot of themselves,
or follow the Biblical model and quietly speak to them about their error. Using gentle words might save us from getting
beat up.
Try a little tenderness.
