The Weakness of Anger, and the Power in forgivness
Make sure you read the entry that goes with this comic...
It's important, at least *I* consider it important...
I put this in here because it's on of my favorit QOW strips.
It's about forgivness.
A little something that we could all use and expend.
People constantly wonder why I make up with people that have wronged me. Why I give people so many chances even tho it kicks me in the ass. Well... This is why. and the comic above is a great example.
Sometime being mad, just isn't worth it.
I loose so much when I'm angry with someone. When I'm angry it just builds and builds until i want to scream. I think about that anger and it just makes me more angry, more fustrated. But most of all it makes me weak. Weak because not only can I not act out my anger, but it changes my attitude. I become jaded and untrusting of other people. I gain nothing from anger except more anger. Seems like a pretty raw deal if you ask me.
Look at what I loose by being mad at somebody...
A good friendship or the possibility of one, Peace of mind, Trust, Patience, Positivity, Happiness, Time agonizing over it, Time I could of spent with the people I love, Time I could of spent healing a relationship, Time I could of spent telling someone that I loved them, Understanding, Compassion, A sense of self, and the list goes on and on....
It's hard to forgive someone, but it truly costs us nothing.
Besides, Why would I want to give someone that I'm upset with the power to make me weak?
