Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
John 12:24–25
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.

My point in posting these definitions is to show what the Bible really means. These are awful emotions, but we all have them at one time or another. They are destructive, and the saying 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never harm me,' is a lie. Words hurt worse than sticks and stones. This phrase is a fallacy. Just something to think about.
