RE: Letting Go of Old Things: From Dust to Creativity
I hold on to revenge a lot. I don't do stupid shit to get in trouble. I have even accepted apologies.
But when I am alone I ruminate and indulge in getting back at my wrongdoers in my head. For reasons I don't even comprehend yet, I feel like I need to see it with my own eyes that they at least got punished.
It's my toughest challenge yet, but indeed, letting go
Is always ultimately the answer.
Sometimes letting go can be really hard.
There's an old saying: "Anger is like acid, it only corrodes the vessel it is IN" which has helped me develop a sense of perspective over the years.
Honestly I've heard these tropes before, the more common one being, "Anger is like holding onto a hot piece of coal you want to throw at someone."
But they don't work on me no more.
