What Christlike character quality can I develop by defeating the most common temptation I face?
Answer: Patience. I have none, many of the people I encounter everyday are unlovable idiots. Everyday I am tempted to flip someone off or slap someone because of something stupid someone said or did (especially when I'm driving). I can be on my way to church and have an idiot make an illegal turn and cut me off, and it sends me into a rage. I then feel like a fraud because its not a very Christlike thing to do , especially on the way to church. Anger is one of, if not my most major vice , and while chapter 26 talks about using a quick prayer to keep from giving in, it seems that anger is an automatic reaction....
