Is your object getting people
to take your side,
or are you taking action to
heal
others inside
the hurt?
I want to spend my time
bringing to the fore
causes I support, not giving
voice
to chasms, factions, and
senseless wars!
senseless wars!
Boy! This was just what I needed to hear/read today, Denise. Too often, when looking back on some of our mutual hurts, I try to get people to take my side and acknowledge that I have a right to be angry. But what does that do for me when I dwell on things I cannot change? Nothing.
