Gentle Answer vs Harsh Words
Proverbs 15:1-2

1
A gentle answer turns away wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
2
The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.

PCdc Commentary

The wise person gives a gentle answer and turns away wrath.
The fool uses harsh words and aggravates the anger.
Ever argue with someone just because one of your buttons was pushed?
Pointless, no?
