Many years ago I read the following Associated Press
dispatch which appeared in the newspaper:
An elderly man disclosed, at the funeral of his brother,
with whom he had shared, from early manhood, a small,
one-room cabin near Canisteo, New York,
that following a quarrel, the two brothers had divided
the room in half with a chalk line,
and neither had crossed the line or spoken a word to the other
since that day--62 years before.
Just think of the consequence of that anger.
What a tragedy!
May we make a conscious decision,
each time such a decision must be made, to refrain from anger
and to leave unsaid the harsh and hurtful things we
may be tempted to say.
