In spite of myself, we have reached day 3 of Anger Week at the NDD.

The second half of the quote is,
“…it is an impotent fury conscious of its impotence.”

There is a new TV show being advertised this summer. It’s called ‘Revenge’ and it’s all about a young woman who is going to get back at all the bad people in the beautiful Hamptons of New York who did her and her family wrong. She will obviously watch with glee as she spites those terrible wrong doers, finding nefarious ways to do them in.
She also will have no room in her brain for love, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, courage, maturity or kindness. Any time she does show those things it will be an act. It will be just another in a long line of entertainments about someone getting satisfaction by spiting someone.What amount of time do you take to think about how to hurt another person, either in secret in the form of spite and revenge, or in their face? What will you get from it? What are you missing out on because your brain is filled with those thoughts?
Forget what it would do for the object of your spite, moving on is the best thing you can do for yourself.
