“After the sponsor listened to his new pigeon’s angry outburst, he offered the following advice - “If you set out ona path of revenge, be sure to dig two graves before you depart - one for your enemy, and one for yourself. ”
The paradox of vengefulness is that it makes men dependent upon those who have harmed them, believing that their release from pain will come only when their tormentors suffer.”
— Laura Hillenbrand
Resentment is the “number one” offender. It destroys more alcoholics than anything else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease, for we have been not only mentally and physically ill, we have been spiritually sick.
