I have an odd situation at my new job. There is this bipolar guy who is allowed by management to mistreat people. He's been at the center of many strong arguments, some nearly getting physical.
I've been told by coworkers that how I react to him is off-putting, not giving him the satisfaction of an emotional response. He becomes out of his element, like a fish out of water, not knowing how to proceed.
This self-control, I credit to my Savior and Lord Jesus, who commanded me not to resist evil. I have not told anyone at work I am a Christian. I'm hoping they discern an attitude that is not of this world. I like most Ephesians 4:29.
A fool is quick-tempered,
but a wise person stays calm when insulted.
Proverbs 12:16
