********************************************************************
If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a
hundred days of sorrow.
-- Chinese Proverb
********************************************************************
In the passion and heat of our anger, we've all said things we
regret. Patience is the way to save us from that regret. As
Thomas Jefferson put it, "When angry, count to ten before you speak;
if very angry, count to one hundred." That time between action and
reaction allows us to step away from the passion and allows our
better judgment to step in. We all know the wise action is to take
one step back and evaluate the situation. The trick is doing so with
boiling blood and razor sharp words on the tips of our tongues.
Restraint of tongue and pen is called for here!
