Why do poeple get mad at other people? Well it is usually because they did something hurtful to them. But what if they apologize? Then what? Are they supposed to accpet it and move on? Is there a designated amount of time for getting over what happened? Should the first person declare war on the other? Should they pretend like everything is okay when it's not? I just do not know what is supposed to happen. Is there more a person can do than apologize?
"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord. On the contrary: "If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head." Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." -Romans 12:17-21
This is saying that we need not get revenge on people and that God will take care of it. So if someone does "declare war" on you because they are mad, we can, in turn, respond with kindness and love.
