Revenge has yielded me nothing but sorrow. I've hurt a lot of people physically and emotionally. I know how I've felt afterwards and live with those regrets. All I can do is pray about it and strive to get better by crucifying the flesh on a daily basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands On Posted January 2, 2022 Group: Royal Member Followers: 5 Topic Count: 12 Topics Per Day: 0.01 Content Count: 227 Content Per Day: 0.12 Reputation: 126 Days Won: 0 Joined: 12/13/2018 Status: Offline Share Posted January 2, 2022 I wonder if its got to do with being able to "look outside of yourself".I believe its something that can be worked on the more we become aware of it.Its a continuous awareness of Christ's teaching "Do for others what you want them to do for you:"(Good News Bible Mt 7:12 a)In this regard, I find this bit of advice pretty useful around the house and my relationship with folks in general. Stephen Covey in his "The 7 habits of Highly Effective Families p 29"writes "It is so easy to be reactive!Don't you find this to be the case in your own life?You get caught up in the moment.You say things you don't mean...later regret.And you think, 'Oh , if only I had stopped to think about it, I never would have reacted that way!'... What we all need is a 'pause button'- something that enables us to stop between what happens to us and our response to it, and to choose our own response.It's possible for us as individuals to develop this capacity to pause.And it's also possible to develop a habit right at the center of a family culture of learning to pause and give wiser responses...that pause button in the family...to cultivate the spirit of acting based on principle-centered values instead of reacting based on feelings or circumstances." Easier said than done, I do admit, nevertheless something to chew on I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
