“My neighbor seems mad at me,” thought one man. “It seems I’ve done something to annoy him.” Not wanting to drag on, he went to his neighbor to ask what made him like that. When the man asked if he had offended him, the neighbor replied “No!” roughly. The man said to her, “I don’t want any bad feelings between us. If I have done something to offend you, I apologize.”
Since then things have calmed down again. Someone once said, “The more I know humans, the more I love my dogs.” Dogs are loyal, dependable, loving, and quick to forgive and forget. Don’t we wish humans were more like that? But sometimes, even though we’ve tried our best to maintain a good relationship with someone, it just doesn’t work.
There’s a saying, “As much as possible, if it depends on you, live in peace with everyone.” Notice the expression “if it depends on you.” We knows that there are some human problems that cannot be solved. It takes two people to fight; it takes two people to make peace. If we’ve done our part and the problem persists, there’s still a plan to work on.
Do not harbor hatred or retaliate with silent “weapons”. Try to overcome evil with good, and let God solve the problem. The best way to conquer the enemy and anger is with the weapon of love. “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink! By doing this you will heap coals of fire on his head. Do not be defeated by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
