People are always shouting they want to create a better future. It's not true. The future is an apathetic void of no interest to anyone. The past is full of life, eager to irritate us, provoke and insult us, tempt us to destroy or repaint it. The only reason people want to be masters of the future is to change the past.

Ephesians 6:4:
Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
(NIV)
Fathers, do not irritate and provoke your children to anger [do not exasperate them to resentment], but rear them [tenderly] in the training and discipline and the counsel and admonition of the Lord.
(AMP)
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
(KJV)

Great events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.
|
I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
