Many years ago I read the
following Associated Press dispatch which appeared
in the newspaper: An elderly man disclosed, at
the funeral of his brother, with whom he had shared,
from early manhood, a small, one-room cabin near
Canisteo, New York, that following a quarrel,
the two brothers had divided the room in half
with a chalk line, and neither had crossed the line
or spoken a word to the other since that day--62 years before.
Just think of the
consequence of that anger. What a tragedy! May we make a
conscious decision, each time such a decision must
be made, to refrain from anger and to leave unsaid the
harsh and hurtful things we may be tempted to say.
