Don't let the sun go down on your anger
It's in the Bible, but I'm not looki..... alright.
Ephesians 4:25-27
Therefore, putting away lying, "[Let] each one [of you] speak truth with his neighbor," [fn] for we are members of one another.26 "Be angry, and do not sin": [fn] do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27. nor give place to the devil.
OKay so I've had it a little wrong, or I've been reading a different translation, but this one makes a little more sense. Knowing that sometimes we are going to be very angry without resolution but will have to go to sleep at some point. I find I much rather settle things before I sleep or it will just get pushed down there, and pop up later on sometime out of the blue.
SO I was really mad earlier because I felt cheated, but after venting and explaining everything to someone, and then having a couple short conversations on msn, I was getting somewhere. I got things off my chest and then I talked about something completely different, and watched some funny videos, without bringing up my discontent. Then I had a big hot bowl of oatmeal with apple, raisins, cinnamon and brown sugar, avec milk. It was good and calming and now I feel somewhat better. I really jsut need to sleep now, so later on.
