Be Slow To Anger And Quick To Forgive Novels & Stories

His voice rang in my ears, making my stomach churn a bit. "Be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger."I paused, as he tilted his head in understanding. "Maybe I should have paused to listen to Nick's side of the story. I should not have spoken angrily either. I am definitely putting these wise sayings to heart."

She'd never in a million years imagined it would get to that point. She'd never seen him so furious in all her many years of knowing him. The man was beyond angry, he trusted no one and the world had become his enemy. He'd used to be the opposite of that, he'd loved people and he cared about everyone, strangers too.

Anger, hatred and resentment will do no good in our lives. Let us learn to forgive even those who have hurt us. And always think not to be greedy or hurt others for the sake of your own interest.

My body reacted before my reason did; instinctively, I almost turned back to beg her forgiveness. I feared angering her more than anything. Her giving me the silent treatment was the last thing I wanted. To win her forgiveness, I’d crawled back to her before, doing everything I could to please her. Sometimes she forgave me after a day or two if she was in a good mood; other times, it took ten days or half a month before her anger faded.

"Why waste our time?" I pouted as I peered at her, "I'm sorry." I let out a long breath and my shoulders fell, "I just can't get it off my mind."

That was one thing about Sandra; she was always quick to get angry and at the same time, she was quick to forgive. I didn't want to make her mad; I never want to.

“My parents were wonderful people, the best I've ever met. Dad was kind and supportive but he was also really funny too. He was the type who would encourage you to face your fears but would hold your hand through it all. Mum was the type to take the burdens of others on herself. She always had a big smile on her face and could brighten up a room the minute she walked in. She was kind hearted and selfless, maybe even to a fault. When I was younger, I wondered if she was incapable of getting angry but I soon learned that things hurt her just like anybody else but she prioritized her own peace over harboring negative emotions. She would forgive a person relentlessly until she couldn't anymore a
