Any attack, whether verbal or physical, is caused by fear. When contemplating an attack, we need to ask ourselves, "What is causing the fear?" That's the issue to consider, and the answer is always the same. Fear occurs when we align ourselves with the ego. Fear has no life of its own.
The urge to attack another person is manageable. We can always curtail the impulse if we are willing to seek the help of the Holy Spirit. Its voice is softer than the voice of the ego, so we have to grow quiet to hear it. But we'll see our "opponent" quite differently after listening to the Spirit.
The Holy spirit is capable only of love. If we are not at peace in a situation, or if we harbor any thought other than love, we are not aligned with the quiet voice. The only barrier to feeling love is the one the ego constructs. We are lucky that its voice can be ignored in an instant.
THE VOICE I HEAR TODAY DETERMINES MY LEVEL OF PEACE.
