But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. James 1:19
When children are babies, their parents encourage their children to walk and talk. Then later, they try to get them to sit down and shut up. Benjamin Franklin said, "Teach your child to hold his tongue, he'll learn fast enough to speak." We have two ears and one mouth. Let's learn to use them proportionately. Let's be good listeners. It will keep us from anger and many other mistakes that will sink our ship. God will help us control our tongue and the fires they start.
