I like these quotes. It is also hard not to react with like anger at times
probably for everyone.

When People Behave Badly
Bad temper is contagious-don't get infected.
PROVERBS 22:25 MSG
Sometimes people can behave badly . . . very badly. When other people are
unkind to you, you may be tempted to strike back, either verbally or in some
other
way. Don't do it! Instead, remember that God corrects other people's
behaviors in His own way, and He doesn't need your help (even if you're totally
convinced
that He does).
So, when other people behave cruelly, foolishly, or impulsively-as they will
from time to time-don't be hotheaded. Instead, speak up for yourself as politely
as you can, and walk away. Then, forgive everybody as quickly as you can, and
leave the rest up to God.
We are all fallen creatures and all very hard to live with. C. S. Lewis
A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the
unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast
the unbearable. ~Billy Graham
Bear with the faults of others as you would have them bear with yours.
~Phillips Brooks
From what does such contrariness arise in habitually angry people, but from a
secret cause of too high an opinion of themselves so that it pierces their
hearts when they see any man esteem them less than they esteem themselves? An
inflated estimation of ourselves is more than half the weight of our wrath.
~ST. THOMAS MORE
TODAY'S PRAYER
Dear Lord, sometimes people behave badly. When other people upset me, help me
to calm myself down, and help me forgive them as quickly as I can. Amen
