• A wrong reaction to a provocation can cause you to break a higher rule and lose your domain or your case.

but joy cometh in the morning.

Proverbs 14:16

16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted
