Have you noticed that it is almost impossible to argue with someone who will not argue back? Also it is equally impossible to argue in a whisper. Harsh words or a loud voice can produce an angry response and thus begin the cycle for an argument.
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1.
In other words, Listen; use gentle words; reap the benefits!
Have a blessed day!
In Christian love,
