SELF - CONTROL |
|
Not that in other things one may relax
control; but the danger of careless or angry speech is constantly present, and requires
special attention. The injury caused by a burn heals, but the man who is hurt never
forgets the pain caused by the thoughtless word. It remains forever in his mind like an
ugly scar Men forget many injustices but they rarely forget or forgive an insult.
It a man knows how to control the rising anger in his mind and guards
himself against losing his temper, all Other virtues will seek him out and wait on his
pleasure. Let a householder guard against careless speech and loss of temper. The rest
will be easy. |
