If we try to analyze relationships, particularly within families, we will find that more often our anger is due to misperceptions of what was or is said. Then, our memories become packed full of negative tapes which play back in our heads, whenever we are around that person. Whatever they say, we then hear through an already prejudiced mindset, adding fuel to the flame. We put up walls and barriers which are in place to protect our self, we think. But the truth is those walls and barriers only cause further harm by allowing anger, loneliness, and bitterness to grow.
The evolutionist will try to tell you that our brains choose to record that which is necessary for survival first. However, as I just pointed out, were that the case then evolution failed in its purpose. We can see that clearly in a society who is bent on emotions of anger, hatred, and separationist ideologies. Those feelings and ideas ultimately lead to high anxiety, desperation, drug abuse, and even suicide. All because the memory held fast to negative tapes, snippets of information taken out of context which ignore the good and misinterpret the words to feed a negative narrative.
Paul wrote in Philippians 4:8-9 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
