Proverbs 15:1 KJV — A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.
The force of the wrath you’re facing doesn’t require an equal and opposite force.
The chemical reaction of a soft answer neutralises or diverts the wrath.
Transmutes it. Turns it away. Converts it into something else.
Emotional alchemy.
Use a soft touch with a fierce temper.
It’s more powerful than you think.
