Get the appI Have Questions: How Do You Win An Argument?Sample
The world is covered with volcanoes. Some of them are extinct (meaning they’ll never erupt again), some of them are dormant (meaning they might erupt again), and some of them are active (meaning they might erupt at any time). The point of this science lesson? Cruelty in our hearts works in the same way. Left to erupt, it can lead to nothing but destruction in our lives. The alternative? As King Solomon said, it’s kindness. If we want to stop cruelty, hate, or anger from erupting in our words and actions, we have to replace it with kindness.
Make a point to pay attention to the things that tempt you to erupt with cruelty this week. If you can’t figure it out, ask a trusted friend or adult for their input. Then, talk about steps you can take to choose kindness in those moments instead.
