    Next is “parogismos.” Parogismos is that type of anger that leads to resentments. It’s that gnawing at the gut that tends to be long lasting, and if not dealt with properly can lead to some real problems. It’s one of the reasons forgiveness is so important. Carrying around this type of anger can have adverse effects on your health…physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This is the type of anger we’re not to “let the sun go down on.”…

    I found the quote in my epigraph to be very accurate; how can one become old and wise if they aren’t first “young and stupid”?

When young people become older and…
