Joshua and I are reading a book together called "Uprooting Anger" by Robert Jones. As we were reading last night we came across a quote by Augustine about anger in the heart of a child.
"The weakness then of an infant's limbs, not it's will, is it's innocence."
Robert Jones went on to comment, "What makes us call an infant "innocent"? It is his inability to rise up and punch the person who doesn't feed him on demand, not his innocent heart. An infants heart would throw a right hook if his arms were strong enough...When a child's formerly "innocent" limbs become as developed as his always demanding heart, be ready for fully developed displays of rage!"
