Here’s a myth that everybody’s been sold by modern psychology but that is flat out wrong: We have only a set amount of anger in our life, and it’s like we got a bucket of anger. When that bucket gets full, modern psychologists say we need to express it. We need to just pour it out. If we believe this myth, we’re going to struggle with anger our entire life, because we don’t have a bucket of anger in our life. WE HAVE A FACTORY! That factory can keep on producing and producing and producing. When we get rid of that, we’ll get more. In fact, the more anger we throw out, the more it produces. Aggression only creates more aggression. Angry outbursts lead to more anger, more often, until it becomes a habitual pattern in our life. The answer is not just to throw it out. It’s just going to refill! The answer is to let it go. – RICK WARREN “A person’s wisdom yields patience; it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11 NIV).
