When I have lost my temper

I have lost my reason too.

I’m never proud of anything

Which angrily I do.

When I have talked in anger

And my cheeks were flaming red

I have always uttered something

Which I wish I had not said.

In anger I have never

Done a kindly deed or wise,

But many things for which I felt

I should apologize.

In looking back across my life,And all I’ve lost or made,

I can’t recall a single time

When fury ever paid.

So I struggle to be patient,

For I’ve reached a wiser age;

I do not want to do a thing

Or speak a word in rage.

I have learned by sad experience

 That when my temper flies

I never do a worthy deed,A decent deed or wise.

If a rattlesnake is cornered, it can become so frenzied that

it will accidentally bite itself with its deadly fangs. In the

same way, when a person harbors hatred and resentment

in his heart, he is often hurt by the poison of his own

malice. He thinks he is injuring his enemies by displaying

his wrath, but the real harm is inflicted deep within his

own soul. Nothing is ever gained by giving way to the dark 

passion of bitterness and anger.

 ANSWERS O YOUR QUESI

 Whshouldforgive

s e L F - I n F L I C T e D D A M A G eWhen someone wrongs us,

we must learn to forgive

and ask God to let His love

fill our heart. It’s the only

way to keep from being

hurt by bitterness, wrath,

and anger.—Henry G. Bosch
