So many arguments and fights are completely irrational, as though insanity has set in.
Tantrums on the part of adults is common these days. When they do not get exactly what they want, they fly into a rage, especially if they are wrong. The rage is an attempt to hide their own guilt.
The rage is a tactic to control the emotions of others, causing others to back down, while causing them to think they have done something wrong, but they cannot figure out what it is because their offenders won't say what bothers them, and we can't guess.
As long as we know what we are dealing with, we do not have to engage with these monstrous angry adults. We can walk away without guilt, knowing that there was an attempt to manipulate and control us through these mean spirited tactics.
I no longer feel guilty when I see this happening, I feel sad for the person who cannot control their tantrums or desires. We know that these people are lost and on their way to hell. They need salvation, but they will not see victory until they trust Christ, then He can clean them up.
These manipulators are idols unto themselves. They worship themselves, the reason they cannot tolerate any suggestion that they need a heart change.
These people need to pray these kind of prayers:
Psalm 51:10
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me."
Ezekiel 36:25
"Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
