Jon Acuffs on Provs 12:16

"A fool shows his annoyance at once,
but a prudent man overlooks an insult."

I'm not good at responding with an attitude of love when annoyed, so Insults really spoke to me. My first instinct is to get back.

"But that’s what a fool does. A fool responds at once....A prudent person realizes that an instant response to an insult is probably going to be emotion driven, if not flat out designed for revenge."

Sigh. I need to memorise this verse and work on living it out.
