Be Careful Of This!

By John Tamakloe

Be Careful Of This!  

Proverbs 27

KJV

3 A stone is heavy, and the sand weighty; but a fool's wrath is heavier than them both.

 

Why is it so? This was the first question that popped into my mind when I read this verse! I set out to search for “the why” by looking around me. 

 

My observations revealed that a fool does not know when to bring to an end any quarrel or a misunderstanding! He/she is always under the weight of a quarrel or a misunderstanding! 

 

“Stone” and “sand” ( differences ) though heavy, yet ways are found to manage or handle them by the wise. In other words the wise know how to handle/manage differences; but not the fool! 

 

A fool is the one often described as “ wón tè gyàè”! Avoid these people! You can not stand their wrath! Sad, but such are some do not make friends with such persons. Their wrath lingers for a long time. 

 

A word of caution to share.
