Anger in Office and Vocation
Sage advice from Paul Gerhardt’s last testimony to his only surviving son:
"Outside of your office and vocation do not become angry. If you notice that anger has heated you up, remain still and speak not so much as a word until you have first prayed the Ten Commandments and the Christian Creed silently."
Anger in vocation can be righteous, meet and salutary. Remember "WWJD includes making a whip and driving moneychangers out of the temple."
Zeal presupposes love.
