Anger

 After Xerxes anger had subsided, he began thinking..

Esther 2:1

People in 2021 often think the Bible has nothing to do with them. But although tech has changed a lot over the centuries, people haven't changed. Human nature is the same.

Today I read a older man here in Fukuoka decided to tell a young man to wear a mask on the street. He is probably now regretting that choice because the young man on holiday from Osaka punched him. Needless to say Japanese plod took a dim view. But here's where the Bible comes in. If either of them had thought first before letting their anger have sway, they both would probably be having more fun this evening. Easy to say though. I have a lousy temper myself.
