"No matter how just your words may be, you ruin everything when you speak with anger." St. John Chrysostom

Anger is like vinegar in comparison to honey. The former is sour and hard to swallow; the latter sweet, going down easier. Speaking the truth is important and necessary. But when it is done in anger, the truth falls on deft ears. Sometimes, we feel that if we say something with greater force and emphasis it will be acted on. Wrong. The same truth spoken with the calmness of love, is more readily heard. Anger is a fault and a vice; love is a virtue and a grace. So, if you want to be heard, then speak the truth in love rather than in anger.
