Demanding and destructive masters

by Rod Smith

Anger, hatred, the desire for revenge, are strong emotions but are often the just and appropriate feelings of many who have been wronged.

Just, and appropriate, as they may well be, they are destructive to the host.

A person who enduringly hosts such emotions without a means to address them will be stewed in bitterness and even ill health. No matter how sadly and well earned, these emotions will, bit by bitter bit, destroy the host.

If you are craving revenge for yourself or others, if hatred wells within you, if you have outbursts of rage where the intensity of your rage blinds you and distances you from reason, please, seek counseling.

Seek a wise guide to lead you out of your multiple traps. A wise counselor will be able to assist you to tabulate your grievances, asses your degree (if any) of responsibility for the feelings you face, and devise with you a plan to negotiate your way to a free, or at least a free-er, future,

No one benefits when continuing to live under the demands of revenge, hatred and anger, all of which will prove to be rather exacting and demanding and unrelenting task masters.
