There's another verse in Proverbs chapter 15 where it says, a soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger. And so I've got 6 brothers. We did not always get along. And so I said, well, I'm going to see if that works, right? Next time one of my brothers comes in screaming at me, I'm going to see if, like, I can de-escalate him with a soft answer. And it worked like it was almost freaky. I was like, oh, this Bible is on to something.
