JBL Reading Report

• The coffee industry will be today's tobacco industry in the future.
  
• 2Cor 2:15-16 - The fragrance of Christ is from the perfume used to anoint a dead body. It is fragrance of life and the aroma of death at the same time.
  
• Anger as feeling is always valid – but may not be justified (misperceptions etc). One feels for a reason – even if its not a good reason. But anger as behavior is seldom valid – except in extreme cases of self-defense or danger.
  
• Anger is like a boomerang - you throw it out to hurt someone but it came back to hurt you.
  
• We should never equate the wrath of God with human anger. There is no such thing as "righteous anger", only "anger of the righteous one."
  
• Justice does not need to be motivated by sustained anger.
  
• The angry feeling is neutral, but it is dangerous.
  
• 雅各書1:20 人的怒氣並不成就　神的義。
  
• Anger can be a conditioned response. It can be unlearned - just like temper tantrum.
  
• Ventilation does not release the anger, it rehearses the anger.
  
• No mater how terrible things are, always greet your spouse with a smile when you go home.
  
• Forgiveness is surrendering my right to hurt you back.
  
• Forgiveness is not reconciliation. Forgiveness is a personal and private decision and only involves ourselves. I cannot request the other party's apology or confession as a condition for our forgiveness.
  
• God has forgiven us before we confess our sins. Our confession is a requirement for reconciliation, not forgiveness.
  
• Forgetting has nothing to do with forgiveness. Forgiveness is not emotional but an ethical choice.
  
• Forgiveness doesn't take a long time. It is just a decision in a moment. But it may take a long time to bring yourself to the position where you can forgive.
  
• Don't tell the person that you have forgiven him/her unless they ask you for that. Write down your forgiveness and get rid of it. Don't ever send it. Otherwise you are just punishing him/her.
