In response to the letter “Are we living in a bubble of fake safety?” by Emmy Holiday (DistrictMail & Helderberg Gazette, 30 July).
I was so annoyed at what you had gone through because of two young men spewing rubbish, just because they can and get away with it.
My first thought was that I wished you possessed ninja powers (Bruce Lee-style) and kicked their windpipes so they would never dare to say those hurtful words to anyone ever again.
After my anger subsided, I thought of my daily devotion, Lighten Up, by Vivienne Heath. Romans 12 verses 17 and 21 says: “Do not repay evil with evil. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.”
I realised I was in need of more prayer time…
I wondered, how must God have felt about the situation you were in and my zero to 30 seconds angered response. He would not have been pleased.
I pray that God removes negativity from the past and the present, and helps people to be kinder to one another in the future.
