Proverbs 15:1 says: A gentle answer turns away wrath; But a harsh word stirs up anger.  This is the truth about a gentle answer turns away wrath.  If you are always humble and gentle in your approach to other people, you are practicing a non violent approach to all people.  God will reward you if you are humble and meek with everyone.  But a harsh word stirs up anger.  It is a different way to talk to talk to everyone.  I am going to say this but an elderly person knows how to respect others without getting upset.  I have changed the way that I communicate with all people.  I have learned this from listening to Church sermons throughout the years.  I need to be kind and assertive. If I am this way, God will reward me in due time.

I remember when I used to be very angry at people all of the time. I was suppressing my angry feelings. I really was not shown the right way to speak with everyone, until I was around my grandparents because they showed me a better way to talk to other people without getting upset and aggressive. My grandmothers we’re open and kind towards other people. Whenever I was around my mother and stepfather, I learned aggression and anger. My stepfather was very aggressive and my mother was gentle and kind. I knew my friends were smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol. I guess at that time that is all that I have known to do was drinking beer and smoking marijuana
