Isn't this statement so true? How much better my relationships are when I embrace this truth and apply it in my life: as a husband, father, friend, enemy, and toward everyone in between.
It's tempting to say (or think), "My response is your responsibility." When I do this, I give away my responsibility and take on a victim, blame-oriented mindset. I also contradict what God has equipped and commanded me to do.

James 1:19, 26, HCSB, Hearing and Doing the Word
19 My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20 for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness.26 If anyone[j] thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, then his religion is useless and he deceives himself.
