Angry men



It happened in India. It was late at night when I heard some noise from the outside. In India the sound of the horn and noise are endless for 24 hours, but this time it sounded differently. I watched outside from my hotel room. Around 20 people were yelling at each other in the parking lot of the hotel. I saw fights many times but this fight didn’t cease after 10 or 20 min. They were getting hot. I watched outside again and one big man was holding a stick and menacing other group. One of the security guards jumped on him. (I don’t know which side he is on.) That was the sign and everyone wrestled wildly. Hotel employees took off their jackets and joined the fight. After that, chefs joined too, in their white uniform. Soon the parking lot was filled with fighting people. They didn’t care who they’re fighting for. The police arrived and people unharnessed adrenaline were still fighting. Finally, the fight was ceased so when I checked the time, it took for 1 hour and a half, since I started watching outside. I’ve never seen such anger in Japan. I thought, whether it’s possible for Japanese people to keep getting angry for a long time or not. I still don’t know why they started fighting but in the Bible it says “for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.” It is unavoidable to have anger but in Ephesians the Bible warns us “Be angry, and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath.”
People have anger because of their egocentricity. Also, people keep the anger so lovingly without dealing with it properly. On the other hand, God’s anger directs at sins, unrighteousness, and hypocrisy. God hates sins but has mercy on people who are slaves of sins because the Lord, Jesus Christ, was on the cross to forgive our sins, not to judge us. Let us be like Jesus Christ.

James 1: 19~21
