Shalom Aleichem, dear listeners, and welcome to another episode of our daily Torah wisdom. Today, let us discuss a beautiful piece of wisdom from the book of Proverbs, specifically, Proverbs 15:1. It says, "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
This verse, although written thousands of years ago, is so applicable to our daily lives. It tells us about the power of words and how they can influence our relationships and interactions. Every word we utter holds the potential to either calm a furious storm or ignite a destructive fire. It is a reminder to choose our words carefully, to speak with kindness and patience, even in the face of anger or frustration.
Imagine how much better our households, workplaces, communities, and the world at large would be if we all practiced this principle. If instead of responding to anger with anger, we responded with patience and understanding. The next time we find ourselves in a heated situation, let us remember this verse from Proverbs. Let's respond not with harsh words that stir up anger, but with gentle answers that turn away wrath.
May we all be granted the wisdom and patience to apply this teaching in our daily lives. Thank you for joining me today, dear listeners. Remember, our words hold power. Choose them wisely.
