Another shooting

Proverbs 15:1 "A soft answer turneth away wrath; but grievous words stir up anger."  It has happened again. Two young men, age 17 and 19 get into a disagreement about something and a gun is pulled out. The 19 year old is dead and the 17 year old is facing murder charges. Why can we not learn to walk away? Why do we have to be right? I remember a  saying hanging on a supervisors wall many years ago, "just because you have silenced a man doesn't mean you have converted him." It happens so much. Why would it not be better to be wrong and live another day. What is so serious in any argument that it requires taking a life. It is stupid stuff. Every time I hear of another killing like this, I think of me and Edwin talking about a Dog fence. It was stupid stuff, but he doesn't like what I said and he runs for a gun. Walk away, call the police and live another day. I know when disagreements arise we get so serious. Political, religious, family issues, what ever it is. If we can walk away and think about it, is any thing so serious it requires taking another life? I would think the 17 year old is now regretting his actions. Could not one of them had enough sense to walk away when it got heated? Does it mean you are less of a man because you can control your emotions and walk away?  Doesn't it show some intelligence to be able to walk away instead of pulling a gun? So many senseless killings, over stupid stuff. What is so important it requires taking a life? I understand if you are protecting family or yourself or any other human being to take a life to save yourself or our family. It would have to be a serious threat. What becomes so serious in a plain old every day argument to pull a gun. Humans do not think alike, in marriage, politics, religion or what ever. Are we not allowed to think differently than the next person? O that we could value life over our feelings. God bless, LVZ.
