How to Answer a Fool

Free Preview Chapter Forty-Three) In this chapter you will see how a fool will pretend that you are so caught up in trying to hurt them that you are willing even to hurt yourself. Now, as Christians, our goal is not to hurt anyone, but to help, and to love everyone with the love of Jesus. The goal of the foolish with this ploy is to harass and annoy you with false accusations that you are trying to hurt them in some way.If they can cause you to act out of character by fearfully trying to convince them that you are not trying to hurt them, then the foolish are very pleased with themselves. The foolish know that your actions were not designed to hurt them, but they don,t care; they only care about harassing you. Now let's see how a fool implements this lie. Here is an example. If your foolish boss accuses you of tearing up the work truck, this should be your response: "Now why would I tear up the truck and make my job harder, and put my job in jeopardy?" Here is another example. Let's say your business partner makes a foolish statement, accusing you of not caring about the success of the company. Your response should be: "Now why would I not care about the success of the company when I have just as much to lose as you do?" Knowing how to answer foolish people wisely will always deliver you out of their manipulation and ploys.
