The dynamics of conflict

Proverbs 30:32-33

Should we be surprised when we get strife? You’re not surprised when you churn the milk and you get butter; you’re not surprised when you wring the nose and get blood. Why should you be surprised when you’re forcing your wrath, you get strife? Anytime you force something, you’re going to damage it, and a lot of times when we force something, we do it out of pure ignorance. Stop and think today what you’re saying to others. Tone down the temperature; talk slower; you will be heard louder.
