Proverbs 14 v 1: A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out. I remembered this from Sunday school when I was a child. It always stuck in my head. Not sure why.

Do you agree with this quote from the Bible or does it make no sense? I agree as this is about not only how words are used but how we react to them. Sometimes you just have to nod and smile instead of reacting or showing any attitude to what is said to you. Yes my friends, nod and smile especially when someone else has the handle and you hold the blade.

Sometimes you would want to react in kind to the angry tirade poured on you but believe me when I say just deciding to not do that can make a difference. As Michelle Obama loves to say “when they go low, we go high.” It can make a big difference. I have seen it happen many times. I have done it although I would have preferred saying what I feel, but that’s not always the right thing to do. My stepmom believes this wholeheartedly and she is right. Sometimes we just have to nod and smile.

Some would say that there is no way they could do that as it means allowing someone else to control them. My mom would say, “sometimes you have to kiss ass before you can kick it.” She was serious. Many a person has had to do that in order to get to where they want to be. Does not mean you are subservient just that you are bidding your time. Yes time can make that difference. What do you think? I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium.
