When words from another language are translated into English, we often say that
something is lost in the translation. There was evidence of that in an
information booklet in a Japanese hotel. Explaining the air conditioning system
the booklet said, (with some creative spelling) "Cooles and Heates: If you
want just condition of warm in your room please control yourself."
Certainly, you ought to control yourself, even if you are not in a Japanese hotel room. It is frightening to see a person get out of control. And self-control is listed among the virtues all believers should possess (II Peter 1:5-7).
