I think it’s fair to point out that even the Bible suggests the whole, “Killing them with kindness” approach, but I think it goes a little far…

“If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;

if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.

In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head,

and the Lord will reward you.” (Proverbs 25:21-22)

So, the next time you’re in a bad mood and someone is only making it worse, just be saccharine sweet to them… and imagine them dying a horrible death by hot coals on their head. Am I reading that right?
