Here's another post on anger

"Never throw mud. You may miss your mark. And you will certainly have dirty hands........................................................................Joseph Parker

Many are the ways to throw mud. We do just that when we fling resentment and hatred into our past, smear delusion and denial on our present, or hurl negativity and self-pity into our future.

Of course we have the right to do that if we want to. We can wallow in dirt until it becomes so normal that we don't know the difference. Usually, nobody knows when we're up to, and we ourselves are convinced that such behavior is only realistic.

But we're the ones who have to live with the dirty hands. Our mud may not bother the people we resent, they may not even be alive. The people we live with now have even less to do with it. If we look for mud, we will find it. And it will be ours alone.

Aaaah resentments. I carried some for so long, they were just a part of me. And they were eating me alive. They were like a cancer, growing inside me. And like the reading says, the people I resented didn't even know I resented them. So what was the purpose?

There is a saying that I like: "Resentment is the poison I take to kill you." And that is so true!! Resentment IS a poison -- one that I refuse to take anymore. God bless
