I learn one thing in life...when we hate our enemies, we are giving them power over us, power over our sleep, our appetites, our blood pressure, our health and our happiness. Our enemies would dance with joy if only they knew how they were worrying us, lacerating us, and getting even with us. Our hate is not hurting them at all, but our hate is turning our own days and nights into a hellish turmoil.
I can't really remember who said this but it goes something like "If selfish people try to take advantage of you, cross them off your list BUT DON'T TRY GET EVEN. When u you try to get even, you hurt yourself more than you hurt the other fellow...
Hatred destroys our ability to enjoy even our own food. I know people who whose faces have been wrinkled and hardened by hate and disfigured by resentment that all the cosmetics surgery wont improve their looks half so much as would a heart full of forgiveness, tenderness and love.
If we cant love our enemies, lets at least love ourselves. Lets love ourselves so much that we wont permit our enemies to control our happiness, our health and our looks.No one can humiliate or disturb me unless we let them.
STICK AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES
BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME.
