===Quote===
“The [[wise]] man is a noble [[soul]] who is [[friendly]] in the midst of his [[enemies]], tranquil among the [[turbulent]], and generous among the grasping. [ . . .] The tamed [[mind]] yields [[happiness]]. [ . . .] Let not [[anger]] and [[hate]] master you. Speak harshly of no one. [ . . .] Pay [[good]] for [[evil]]; overcome evil with the good.” ([[131:3|UB 131:3.6]])
===Lesson===
Thought Adjuster: “Emotional [[chaos]] invites more chaos. Molecules of [[hate]] combined with molecules of self-righteousness set afire the explosive powder keg of anger, making it blow up in everyone’s face. Those are the very emotions—often [[manipulated]] from a distance by the forces of [[iniquity]]—that prompt [[terrorists]] to gird themselves with explosives, turning themselves into human bombs while claiming [[delusional]] [[martyrdom]].

Their devastating [[behavior]] is a far cry from the emotional stance taken by wise, noble, friendly, soft-spoken, and [[forgiving]] [[souls]]—as role-modeled by [[Jesus]]’ unruffled demeanor amid emotional duress. What about you? On which side of the demarcation line between hate and [[love]] do you stand? Are you fostering [[positive]] emotions or falling prey to festering ones? How does that make you feel?

Jesus' close associates considered him as the best friend they ever had. He was a big brother to his physical and spiritual [[family]] members, always doing his best to lift the veil of misleading [[ignorance]].

By its [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OCD obsessive-compulsive] nature, hate attaches itself to its source of discontent, using it as a renewable fuel. Not only is it [[blinding]], but its angry clamors are also deafening. How can you talk any sense into those who suffer from this severe double [[handicap]]? Can the voice of reason get through their inflamed brain?

No matter how others behave or misbehave, you are in charge of your emotional [[health]]. [[Blaming]] them for your emotional discomfort while claiming the fifth amendment for yourself is an over-used and unproductive cope-out—an accomplice to spiritual [[stagnation]] or [[regression]].

By steadily emulating [[Jesus]]’ stellar behavior amid turmoil, you too will get to be fondly remembered as a peacekeeper—the symbolic dove extending the olive branch to the trouble makers.”
