16 Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult.
I'm coming to find that anger is the easiest emotion. It's clear. It's perceived as powerful. And it requires no vulnerability. For those same reasons, I'm also coming to believe that anger is overused. Not that we should avoid anger all together, but we should know that it is our default for too many situations. Here we are told that the prudent or wise ignore insult instead of letting it get to them. This could be people the insult was an accident and we are pushing for peace. It could also be a recognition that God determines our worth, not man. Either way, it's foolish to have a short fuse.
