- Mohandas Gandhi
We had to see that when we harbored grudges and planned revenge for such defeats, we were really beating ourselves with the club of anger we had intended to use on others. - Page 47 of Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions
Revenge is such a dangerous thing. And it can backfire so easily. Drunks have sat around planning and scheming revenge with righteous vigor. But we're all connected, we're only hurting ourselves when we're planning these things.
Remember the Spy vs Spy of Mad Magazine? - It seems that neither one of those dudes, the white spy or the black spy ever got the upper hand.
It makes me think about M.A.D. Also known as Mutual Assured Destruction... What good does it do? Other then keep people busy building a bigger and more destructive bomb? This is crazy talk.
Today would be a good day for me to let my higher power take over revenge.
