Expressing Disagreement


            In a dispute, it can be hard to be kind. A professor by the name of Parson was engaged in an argument with a man. Professor Parson grew so sarcastic that he exasperated the gentleman with whom he argued.
            At last, the man said, “Professor, I am going to have to walk away because my opinion of you is a perfectly contemptible one.”
            Professor Parson replied, “I never knew any opinion of yours, sir, which was not contemptible.”
            A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger” (Prov. 15:1.) ESV
