Anger often leads to a sense of righteousness.

Anger often leads to a sense of self-righteousness.
...Getting angry at others is based on the premise that "I am absolutely right 😡."
...People possess their own values, sense of justice, and their own sense of common sense 🤔.
...Using that 📏 yardstick to measure others...🧐...sometimes anger 💢 explodes 💥.
It's said to be an age of diversity, but in recent years, with the increase in immigrants from overseas, there are regions where conflicts have arisen due to differences in lifestyle values ​​between Japanese and immigrants.
...It's impossible to stop getting angry❗️.
...Paul writes in Ephesians 4:26-27: "Be angry, but do not sin. Do not let your anger remain until sunset.
...Do not give the devil an opportunity."

…To avoid falling into the devil's trap of luring you into the workings of the flesh…😰
Even when something makes you angry…I advise you not to let anger or indignation control you.
I think that's because when you get angry, you become controlled by your emotions,
and end up saying things you don't mean.
…I…get angry often too…😓
At the injustices of the world, the massacre of innocent civilians
the situation in Iran🇮🇷…etc…
…Even Christians…get angry❗️
But…if you don't turn it to prayer as quickly as possible…anger will grow into indignation and hatred…😰
…Today too…
"Forgive me my sins, as I forgive their sins."

Shalom😄
