Reflection: There are various appropriate ways to appease a baby or a small child. All parents learn this the hard way. A fussy child is a harsh teacher. But however the child is treated they bring those lessons on into their adult life.

Consideration: One cannot appease a wrathful God simply because there is no wrath in God.
