James 1: 19-20

My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.

This is so true. I feel my rage in the morning, know I can't put it to constructive use for very long and tell myself something inside me wants to blind me to the Kingdom of God. I am trying to see the Christ in everyone but maybe I'm trying to see what I feel should be idealized?

How are cyclists who run red lights like Christ?
How are neighbors who neglect their dogs to the point where they become neurotic like Christ?
How are people who drive at night without their headlights on like Christ?
