"Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan, 'What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?' ....And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, 'Why should he (David) be killed? What has he done?' Then Saul cast a spear at him to kill him....So Jonathan arose from the table...."
I Samuel 20:1, 32-33a, 34a
A person who is controlled by anger – as Saul was – does not think rationally nor act rationally. It is as if a switch is flipped in the brain. Don't expect to be able to reason with angry people, because they are not reasonable. It is better to just leave them alone than to try to talk sense with them or argue with them. Save your energy for something more productive.
Today's Thought: Angry people are not reasonable nor do they listen to reason.
Have a reasonable day. Love you.
