I keep coming back and re-reading this post...and thinking.
(Glok, thanks for the link...I read many of his other articles as well and really like what he has to say...& thanks for the thread!)
There's another saying about hate, please forgive me but I will paraphrase it, that goes: 'hating is like going out and taking poison and hoping and waiting for the other person to die.'
It is a very intense, passionate, painful, heady and sometimes almost crippling emotion...in ourselves.
In the end, the person that has wronged us or that we hate goes on blithely about their business. Most likely not giving a royal damn about the turmoil that they have caused. We have to deal with the emotion left in their wake and within us.
We have taken on the toxicity. We allowed ourselves to respond with hate.
I'm just thinking...just putting it out there for thought or comments. I have been thinking a lot about anger...but it is really different. I don't know. Hopefully someone else will have more input.
